The Silky Pony and the Potty-Mouthed Feminist

It seems little Johnny Edwards has decided to make sure his campaign runs well out of the mainstream. He has hired Amanda Marcotte to be his chief blogger.

Amanda, also known as Heap Big Potty-mouthed Man-hater, is a radical left-wing feminist who posts regularly over at Pandagon, a self-referential feminist blog famous for its lack of balance and very radical views.

I wonder if the Silky Pony has decided to make his image a little edgy in order to differentiate himself from The Beast in Pants Suits and her future cabana boy, B. H. Obama, who are both tacking heavily centrist. Maybe Edwards wants to flirt with the far left for a while to see how that suit fits him. Careful, Johnny, all those anarchists and nihilists and Bolsheviks will scare off your middle-class white-guilt liberal base. Worse yet, one of them might notice Chateau Edwards.

Among Amanda's more interesting blogging forays has been her post hoc, ergo propter hoc insistence that the boys from the Duke Lacrosse team are guilty, regardless of how much evidence indicates they aren't. In Amanda's odd universe, the boys were in the same room with the stripper, they are white and rich, and the stripper claims to have been raped, therefore, the rape occurred and they must be guilty.

Way to go, Johnny-boy. You are writing the book on how to blow a presidential campaign. Hillary won't even have to try hard when she takes you out. You're already bleeding profusely from a hundred self-inflicted wounds.
