My html skills are not such that I can insert Shakespeare's Sister's bannerhead. But I am extremely disappointed that Edwards did not do more to keep SS and Amanda Marcotte on board. Instead, he made them apologize, and said nothing about Donohue and his ilk. Why weren't they vetted in advance of their hiring?
The Minstrel Boy has a good post on this topic.
I was ripping and listening to Taking the Long Way this morning, and began thinking about the similarities between both groups of women. The Chicks stood up to as bad insults and threats as SS and Amanda received, but the latter two caved. I'm not blaming them - presumably the famous and wealthy Chicks had more resources to back them up, and each other. But I am so glad they persevered and created that wonderful album (which just won Album of the Year Grammy, the Grammys being something I seldom pay any attention to). I'm sorry the other two didn't. And I'm very disappointed in Edwards.

Since when is a trip to Niger considered a junket? It's not exactly the Bahamas, not even any beaches. I have never heard of Niger being a tourist destination.

Amanda Marcotte and Shakespeare's Sister have both begun to work for JRE! This, despite the fact, for both of them, that he is still "struggling" with gay marriage rights. He says he is all for civil unions and other rights, but personally has a prejudice regarding the term "marriage." Hopefully his daughter and other influential persons (like his new Webmaster) can help bring him along.
