Ace vs. Amanda Marcotte. Ace wins. I still don’t think there are a lot of lessons to be drawn from this other than that John Edwards’ vetting process stinks. Which does have some over-arching significance — if he can’t hire an internet evangelist, how’s he gonna do when it comes to the SecDef or (god forbid) Supreme Court justice?
The part of Marcotte’s screechy screed that stands out to this reader is her repeated invocation of the Right Wing Noise and/or Smear Machine. How exactly is repeating a person’s own words a smear?
