I can't work for Edwards because ...
I wrote this and this and this and this and this.
They are all about a Roman Catholic cleric, and they are not hagiographic. So I'm not the stuff of heros.
The perfect brie itself would be enough to disqualify me.
Light your candle in comments. We may as well do something other than curse the darkness.

This episode is a good example of one way that actual dominant-culture political correctness, backed by the powers of the corporate-political-media establishment, exerts its influence on the scribes of the day. In order to play ball with the big boys, the institutions of Christianity are not to be mocked. Certain words, certain ideas, certain attitudes, simply fall outside the range of permissible thought in polite society. And our two blogging friends, as is made obvious by the onslaught of viciously slimy attacks, now find themselves in the depths of polite society.

I'm not sure what Edwards had in mind when he hired Marcotte and McEwan. They are writers, their public statements are the source of their audience and of their credibility. Their public statements are what they bring to the table.
His "personally offended" line is a public vote of no confidence in both women. How the hell are they going to be effective now?
If he can't stand behind his hires in the face of two-bit gits like Malkin and Donohoe, how the hell is he going to get anything done as President?
Goodbye and good riddance to Edwards. There are other fish in the sea.

Yes, but what have you written Kai that disqualifies _you_ from working for some bourgeois-in-blinders?
Subverting the glorious tradition of German/French/Italian opera is a possibility. Hard on the Wagner Cultists.

I like brie. Down on Edwards, though.
