Dum Pendebat Filius

Even National Review Online editor K-Lo is getting into it:

… Democratic former North Carolina senator John Edwards, if he cares about avoiding offending Catholic voters, might care to take another look at the online writings of the woman he has just hired to be his campaign blogmaster. Her hostility to religion and in particular the Catholic Church should alarm Edwards.

Marcotte is clearly a staffer who should have been vetted a bit more. She represents someone John Edwards ought not be employing and serves as a warning to other candidates as they gather blogosphere supporters on their payrolls on their road to the White House. The lesson is fairly simple: Google first.

I absolutely love this show of concern for Edwards. These right-wingers really just want what’s best for Edwards 2008. They are so selfless and non-partisan that they’re willing to put aside their political agenda and urge Edwards to get rid of Amanda Marcotte, not out of any animosity towards Amanda, but simply for his own good. They can’t stand to see John Edwards doing political damage to himself.
