By this time, virtually all of the inhabitants of the political blogosphere know that vaginal supremacist Amanda Marcotte is now in charge of John Edwards’ campaign blog, but I thought it interesting that we’re beginning to see just what she brings to the table there. It certainly isn’t her vulgar, vituperative writing style, as that wouldn’t play well with a misogynist raping godbag like her new wealthy, white, southern, Christian male boss, John Edwards. (Have you seen all the children he’s punished Elizabeth with!?!!1?!? OMG!!1!) And frankly, who needs Ambien when you could just read stuff like this, and find yourself playing poker with Abe Lincoln, a groundhog and an astronaut in no time at all?
No, it’s her mad blog management skillz that are emerging at the Edwards for President blog, including her penchant for deleting comments she doesn’t like. On January 31st, protein wisdom proprietor Jeff Goldstein stalked left the following comment, which used to reside at this url and now does not exist at the Edwards blog. (Resident psychic, and seer of the future Dan Collins preserved it for the record here)
Fair and rational? Good luck, Mr Edwards. (2.33 / 3)
Here’s Amanda a few days ago on the Duke rape case:
“For awhile, I had to listen to how the poor dear lacrosse players at Duke are being persecuted just because they held someone down and fucked her against her will–not rape, of course, because the charges have been thrown out. Can’t a few white boys sexually assault a black woman anymore without people getting all wound up about it? So unfair.â€Â
Wonder how that’ll play in Raleigh. My guess? Most people find it repulsiveâ€â€after all, if you are going to convict people in advance of a trial, you probably shouldn’t compound the error by continuing to slime them in the face of overwhelming evidence of their innocence with respect to the chargesâ€â€though it’s possible the faculty of Arts and Sciences might offer her a teaching post.
Secondly, here she is a couple weeks back on the posture we should take with respect to Iran:
“In addition, this attempt to make war with Iran inevitable demonstrates what true believers the Bushies are. When it turned out that we weren’t being greeted in Iraq with parades and flowers as predicted, the finger-pointing and excuse-seeking began. And one favorite excuse as for why the Iraqi people aren’t behaving as predicted is that the Iranians are a bad influence, pouring impure “terrorist†elements over the border. So, from their perspective, if this is true, the key to getting the parades and flowers from the Iraqis is to stomp out the bad influence of Iran. So, in a weird, simple, sick way, the insistence that we attack Iran that persists in the face of all sane indications that we couldn’t and, more importantly, we shouldn’t, is persisting because it’s the last thread of hope that BushCo has of being right about Iraq.â€Â
I invite you to compare Ms Marcotte’s positions with those of her new employer. From today:
“ At a time when most Democrats in the United States are calling for less military involvement abroad, Edwards, of South Carolina, told the Seventh Annual Herzliya Conference on Monday that his country must do everything that it can to stop Iran from possessing nuclear weapons.
“All the options are on the table to ensure that Iran will never get a nuclear weapon,†said Edwards, who is running for president for the second time.
He added that his country had abdicated its responsibility and had not done enough to stop Iran.
Edwards also spoke of the threat Hamas posed to Israel and promised to work to help ensure that Israel’s security needs were met.â€Â
link [converted to hyperlink here – ed.]
Oh. And be sure to get her take on people of faith. I know Edwards likes to break out the religious-speak when he can. Any of you supporters think it might hurt his credibility that his blogmaster tends to view Christianity with considerable scornâ€â€and to routinely mock people of faith as godbothering, backward-ass hicks?
Again. Might play well at Duke, but I ain’t sure it’ll help ol’ JE pluck off any of them red states.
Enjoy!
I knew Amanda when she was still calling people of faith godbags!

Jeff’s second comment on that thread remains, so there seems to be something about that Duke quote that Amanda desperately wants to hide from. It’s been deleted from Pandagon as well, and contrary to the newly emerging point of leftosphere truthiness that the missing post is the result of a technical glitch, it is not. It seems to me that it’s one hell of a bug that not only deletes posts, but leaves messages like this in their place.
UPDATE: Since people are determined to make hay over this quick shot of a post, I’m deleting it and here’s my official stance. The prosecution in the Duke case fumbled the ball. The prosecutor was too eager to get a speedy case and make a name for himself. That is my final word.
Emhphasis mine. Meanwhile, Arianna herself posts about how Joe Klein Seeks to Master the Art of Revisionist Journalism (Forgetting He Lives in the Time of the Internet)
Didn’t you learn anything from Nixon, Amanda? And trying to erase the internet is just plain silly.
Exit question for the Marcotte defenders: Aren’t you people who insist that nothing Amanda has done outside of her new capacity matters within it the very same people who screeched and howled and lost your freaking minds over Jeff Gannon and prior behavior?
UPDATE: Mrs. Edwards, that thing between your legs is not a clown car.
h/t: Amanda
Astronaut? I thought that was a deep-sea diver.
Of course it’s an astronaut and it’s a beaver not a groundhog … at least in my dream.
(A groundhog is just not funny.)
Rumor also has it that it’s a beaver and not a groundhog, but misogynist that I am, I just wasn’t going there.
(Have you seen all the children he’s punished Elizabeth with!?!!
That made me laugh. Except for how sad Amanda’s perspective is. I still can’t get over her saying she refuses to be “punished by babies.” Has anyone clued John Edwards in on Amanda’s writings? The man isn’t stupid. And even his wife Elizabeth, while certainly a liberal, would not think of her children as “punishment.” I’m guessing she would agree with me, and not Amanda, on that one.
How will Edwards wiggle out of this one?
They’ve also lost one of their kids, as have I. I am positive that she doesn’t consider them punishment. I’m sure she cherishes each of them dearly, more than even herself. But I wonder if they’re going to be exposed to St. Amanda of the Bitter Ovaries once she moves into Tortland.
Was it a diaper-wearing woman astronaut?
Wow. A presidential campaign blog that deletes comments that do not further the campaign. Must be the blogger, not the blog.
I have reason to believe we will all be deceived in Tortland.
Yes, the anxiety to fornicate without producing (although I approve of Amanda’s reluctance to pollute the world with more litle Marcottes) is unlikely to play well in Peoria. The vision of Amanda rutting like a sow in heat, with a keyboard in one hand and a wire coathanger in the other is not an attractive one.
Jeff’s comment was entirely on topic, annak. And it does further the campaign to let them know they’ve got poop on their shoe. That way they don’t track it all over the place.
What it doesn’t further is Amanda’s tenure, which is why it’s down the memory hole. Why do you think his second comment is still up?
This must be a different Peoria than the one in Illinois. Because when I was there, that was a major concern.
I blame Caterpillar.
Something tells me that it’s the edwards campaign’s perogative what gets to further it. Also probably how they want to spend their resources doign that. Could be they like to hear JG saying he’s an ardent feminist. Could be they don’t have the time to can that. Could be they like the reply that post got, so they’d rather keep the entire exchange. But this is all conjecture, like yours, that in fact you are all doign this in knowledge that it will further the Edwards campaign.
Strange, how that works, isn’t it? I mean, here in blogworld, we all regularly take the advice of our political opponents, and all act with the same reason and objectivity. Silly old media types on that campaign!
Think you can find anybody who’d ask Amanda to babysit for them? Dogsit? I’m not sure my pet rock would survive the experience.
I understand that women who are particularly concerned about rape would look at men with a jaundiced eye. But aren’t all women concerned about rape? So why are only some so vicious? What if rape disappeared? IMO, the manhate came first and was fortunate to discover rape.
annak,
Let’s put that all aside, because I personally don’t care that Amanda’s working for Edwards.
Do you think that she owes an apology to the lacrosse players and their supporters? If not, please explain why not.
Oooh! Guess more, annak! I got one! It’s because of the Jooooo! Yay!
Oh, no. That can’t be, annak. Because they didn’t. Or, should I say, Amanda didn’t. And I guess you’re right. Her comments on the Duke situation only further the impression that she’s a hateful lunatic, and not the Edwards for President campaign.
Which is what I said in the first place, right?
Keep an eye on Lincoln – he cheats.
Well, the blogger Shakespeare’s Sister is going to be the nutroots coordinator for Edwards.
(She’s female and liberal for those, like Edwards and Marcotte, who attach importance to labels.)
It’s Abe Lincoln, a beaver and a deep-sea diver. I’m sorry, Jeff, but you’ve just lost all credibility as a reporter of fact. How can we ever trust you again?
On the other hand, there are two recruiters from CBS news at your front door…
I had no idea that people still used words like “misogynist” and “patriarchy” any more.
At least, I didn’t think they used them in a non-ironic way that wasn’t designed to call attention to the utter moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the puerile, half-baked counter-culture that spawned them.
Oops! I said “utter.” I apologize to all womyn everywhere.
I don’t feel up to writing one, but I’d love to see an analysis of Marcotte-style unhingement extended all the way into the Left’s characteristic mendacity. It’s simply amazing—but not at all surprising—that wholesale manipulation of one’s own obscene, slandering, libeling work doesn’t even raise an eyebrow over there.
Somebody suggested Edwards isn’t an idiot. True. But that doesn’t mean he’s been proved an honest man capable of doing the right thing simply for its own sake…as would be fitting for a presidential candidate perched atop a platform gussied up in the equally characteristic leftwing bunting of reforming eight long years of Republican corruption.
Marcotte doesn’t only precisely exemplify the intellectial corruption the Left prances about thinking it’s spotlighting in others. In my view she’s a veritable poster child for soullessness.
Hey, I wrote that shit! And consensus seems to be that it is an astronaut, not a diver. But it’s definitely a beaver, which is too controversial to discuss in mixed company, or something. BECAUSE OF THE VAGINA INFERENCE!!!
It’s online here, though I’ve currently got firewall issues preventing me from checking.
Well, at least now we know why nobody was citing PW during this whole affair.
Ironically, I never went into this hoping Marcotte would lose her job or even receive this level of blowback. I honestly thought Edwards’ supporters unfamiliar with blogs should have an idea about who they were welcoming happily not only into the fold, but as Edwards’ online face. And I didn’t do so by pointing up her vile ways. Instead, I asked of Edwards’ supporters whether they thought it was a particularly savvy political move to hire someone who was still trying to hang the Duke 3—particularly when your home base is in NC—and whether Marcotte’s attacks on the “neocons” for keeping the military option open wrt Iran didn’t act, in effect, as a proxy attack on the speech Edwards delivered that very day.
Is it any wonder she deleted it? I’ve never known Marcotte to debate anyone. And to be fair to her, I don’t think it would have been wise to take me on in that forum, in front of her new peers.
“Hey, I wrote that shit”
Easy Pablo, Jeff G, Pablo, Dan Collins, all the same isn’t it?..
And what the hell is the beaver eating anyway?
Just a quick thought, but didn’t a guy named Lamont get a, er, passionate blogger with a committed readership to come in and coordinate his netroots outreach?
How’d that work out?
To be fair Jeff, I’ve never seen any writing by Amanda which would lead me to believe that she is capable of debate. She doesn’t handle opposing viewpoints well.
Also, this idea that there are some political staffers who are in some way outside the realm of discussion is insulting. No one gets to have the power we grant our pols without being fully examined first, and that goes for those they hire for political purposes as well. The truth is that those complaining the loudest now are only doing so because they are defensive and can’t get past the idea that even those they agree with need to be vetted. Anything else is irresponsible.
Once again, the screamers on the left know they can’t compete in the marketplace of ideas and so they do what they always do and try to shut down dissenting opinion any way they can.
Jeff,
Did she lose her job?
I sent this link around to a number of people. We’ll see if it gets any play.
Personally, I’m sick of the story—but the fact that Marcotte (or someone over on the Edwards site) has taken to airbrushing out inconvenient (but in no way dishonest, libelous, or defamatory) posts is a bit frightening, particularly on the site of a would-be President.
I mean, had I not signed my name to that post—had I instead acted like a concerned liberal and longtime Edwards supporter—would the arguments have been somehow magically more valid?
Would the post have been deleted?
I’d ask Marcotte these questions myself, but then I’d have to contend with “punkass Marc” bringing up Astroglide again, and, frankly, the mental images such comment engender haunt my fucking dreams.
Since guv perry decided to require HPV vaccines, there is no more need to use the word “mysoginy,” except for irony. Of his critics.
As for apologies, I don’t think one will be coming. Nor that it is that important that one come. I certainly won’t be demanding one over and over. See above on how to spend one’s resources. I’d rather people spend their time reigning in prosecutors. Of black and white. Jock and nerd.
If people feel that slander was at issue, the law provides redress for that.
Twas a talking beaver, and it wasn’t poker, it was chess.
And speaking of dreams, can anyone tell me what it means when I’m dreaming happily and awaken to sudden pain in my kidneys? Or have I just been snoring again, to my wife’s disdain?
annak,
Yes, I suppose that one ought to have to lawyer up every time they want somebody to do the right thing. Like Danny Glover’s apology yesterday.
But that would mean admitting a mistake, something that puling infants like Amanda don’t understand.
Victimage means never having to say, I’m sorry.
Mike,
Just so long as your penis is still attached, scratch yourself, roll over, and doze off again.
RWS —
Not that I know of, those I’ve seen some prominent calls for her resignation.
Why not, annak? Why is it OK for Marcotte to libel the Duke Womens’ Lacrosse Team publicly?
Not because there is a law which can penalise it. If that were the case, it would be OK for me to shoot Dan Quayle because there’s a law which could be used to prosecute me for doing that.
Doesn’t follow at all.
Oh. And don’t miss the hi-larity of former-conservative-cum-screeching-chickenhawkhawker-trying–desperately-to-prove-her-newly-progressive-bone-fides Ilyka Damen’s strident defense of the divine Ms Marcotte—filled with plenty of links to pw.
Actually, it’s not so much a defense as an attempt to sling mud while pointing out that mud has been slung, much of it reading like an extended tu quoque (and a sustained attack on Dan Collins). But nevermind. The amen chorus has shown up in Ilyka’s comments to clap her on the back and assure her of her brilliance! And really, if you can’t be clever, you may as well shoot for popular.
For the record, I don’t believe Amanda’s profanity is problematic per se (I know, shocking, isn’t it?). Instead, I am appalled by the juvenile way she marshals it. I mean, anybody can fling the “fucks” and pretend to outrage. But it takes skill to go earthy creatively and effectively.
Marcotte gives pottymouthed vulgarians like me a bad name—and for that, she should be ostracized from the fraternity/sorority of people who like to talk about sticking pinkies in doggie rectums.
ASTROGLIDE!
Heh. He said “penalise”…
Let the mad dogs howl, I say. Karma will take care of that shit.
Great Moments in Future History
January 2008 – ‘Senator Edwards, your blog states that Senator Clinton may be a rape-apologist. Could you elaborate?
February, 2008 – ‘Senator Edwards, you placed third in the primary. Your campaign blog calls the supporters of Senators Clinton and Obama “Misguided, single issue idiots who voted for either the vaj or the melanin” Could you elaborate
March, 2008 – ‘Senator Edwards, your online netroots campaign has brought a total of $12,894 compared to Senator Clinton’s efforts which have netted $1,494,003 and Senator Kuchinich who has raised $753,944. Do you have any concerns about the effectivity of your strategy?
April, 2008 – “Senator Edwards, do you regret your campaign’s decision to post a cartoon of Senator Clinton wearing a strap on sexual device labeled ‘Politics as Usual’ standing behind a row of Democratic nominees, including yourself, who have been tied over a barrel, with their pants around their ankles?’ on your blog?
May, 2008 “Senator Edwards, looking back, do you feel you made a wise decision to hire an outspoken, untried, politically unsavvy person to administer your campaign blog?”
–
Hey Dan,
How does it feel to be receiving invective approaching the level our dear host recieves? My personal belief is that you should be proud of making such waves.
From the link to Marcotte’s post about Edwards healthcare plan:
The move to the big-leagues hasn’t helped her lack of a sense of irony, apparently.
Thanks, nawoods.
My feeling is, consider the source. All I’m doing is requesting, repeatedly, that she apologize, not to me (because I like to dish it out, anyway), but to those whom she’s falsely accused.
And suddenly, in the subzero, post-SuperBowl loss darkness of Chicago, the sun is shining like a National guitar.
As if you didn’t know that.
Hmmmm.
@ pablo
Ok. THIS:
Is going on a fucking t-shirt ASA … goddamn … P!
More rationalizations in the comments at Patterico’s site.
Could Edwards have forgotten that he doesn’t get to select the Jury – unless it’s for the VP verdict? Certainly the MSM will help him immensely, failing Susan Sarandon’s entry.
I’ve tried to post this 3 times on the Ilyka Daman site but without success, so you lucky bastards get to see it instead.
In your first ‘Dan Collins’ quote, you show Collins suggesting that Amanda Marcotte should apologise to the Duke Womens’ Lacrosse team and you then move on to this:
Do you have trouble with words or with sequential thought?
Or are you just so pleased with yourself that you don’t engage your brain before tapping your keyboard?
Can you not se what a fool you have made of yourself?
Feel free to transfer it if you have the technology.
Thanks, furriskey. The reason that I thought Amanda should apologize to them, despite not having specifically attacked the Women’s Team, was that she was guilty in much the same way that the Male Lacrosse Team was: by virtue of being a member of the Matriarchy.
Amanda wrote on Edwards blog that she ‘runs and writes for Pandagon’.
Does Amanda have a financial interest in the current or future blogad revenue from that site? (currently $124 per week to run an ad)
That would seem to be a rather basic, ‘yes/no’ gender neutral type of question.
There you go with your masculinist duality.
Edwards runs for President and Mandy runs for Pandagon.
Wonder which one will breast the tape first. Can’t believe I wrote that.
BTW, Bumperstickerist, your Great Moments in Future History were outstanding!
Dan, yes, but why does Damen think that what Amanda did or didn’t do to the Boys has any bearing on whether she should or shouldn’t apologise to the Girls for insulting them?
I don’t see why you should leapfrog the rest of us onto the Dickhead’s Podium just because yet another bimbo can’t read or write. Put the hours in, man.
Well, yes, you’ve got a point, there. I just hope we’re not setting ourselves up for disappointment.
Its not ok to “publically libel.” One of the arguments in support of that is that the law provides a redress. Whatever happened to Paul Deignan?
I’m glad we agree so far, annak.
Now, should one have to go to court to extract a monetary apology, when the false accuser ought, out of mere decency in light of the evidence, admit that s/he was wrong?
Wow. Not only an ardent feminist, but a Good Samaritan to Edwards’ supporters and a true animal lover. Jealousy really brings out your charming side.
One doesn’t have to do much when it comes to apologies. Doens’t really have to do much at all when it comes to third parties and strangers.
Right. And the left never demands apologies for people’s presumably injured sensibilities? Shall I quote you on that when I’ve got an opportunity, later today?
Glenn . . . is that you?
For someone who isn’t going to waste a lot of time on this annak, you sure seem dedicated to the notion that anyone who would write that Amanda should apologize should instead mind their own business. Why is that?
And blondie, anyone who moves themselves into the political spotlight, by say taking a job for a presidential cantidate, is going to get discussed.
Demand? Sure. There are blogs galore to be demanding from and to. Have to? not much.
Yeah, annak. Please mind your own business. Good day.
Some people had some questions. No problem answering them. Thats not dedication where I come from though. Cheers.
Ta. I’d merely like to know why Amanda won’t apologize to those whom she’s maligned. I don’t suppose I’ll get an answer, so I’ll have to make due with my conjectures.
You have no idea how I wish I could buy a strap on pussy. Why is it that only women get to pretend they have the sort of genitals they weren’t born with?
BECAUSE OF THE MATRIARCHY!!!!
She’s a “Duke” fan, obviously.

As I said before, I’m hardly jealous of someone who looks at, say, a t-ball game and sees the making of future rapists.
It must be hell going through life that way.
And while I never claimed to be a “Good Samaritan” in this instance—I was going more for solicitiousness than altruism—I AM, in point of fact, nterested in honest debate. Which you would know, “blondie,” if you read this site instead of what people on your side of the political aisle tell you about it.
Wonderful world isn’t it annak, where we can all talk about whatever our little hearts desire? Cheers back at you.
As to the use of dedication, feel free to substitute any word which you find pleasing. I’m easy that way.
Hot off the presses !
Amanda replaced by Deb (not so fresh) {Edited for SWSNBM} .
That’s a verboten word here, jansen. please to not refer to the nutty professor by name.
Hah. “The Blog World’s Health Care Expert Applauds Edwards’ Health Care Plan.”
Coming next week:
“Workers Rejoice at Edwards’ Announcement of Glorious Five Year Prosperity Plan”
Was it really only last summer that we were all required to condemn Misha? It seems like a thousand years ago now.
You know, the whole Amanda thing could be a brilliant ploy on Edwards’ part. Because of this brouhaha, he’s certainly gotten more traffic than he otherwise would get.
There were 69 replies prior to this post.
I didn’t like the subliminality of the situation.
–
I’m not sure that “any publicity is good publicity” works well in politics, cynn.
And I think the bump in traffic is going to Pandagon—but for all the wrong reasons.
Here’s the thing: I have no trouble whatever with Amanda’s language or even her holding her positions (though I think them wrong, puerile, and steeped in the kind of academic feminist cant that would make Susan B Anthony blush). What I’ve long objected to is her refusal to debate her positions, her knee-jerk attacks against those who hold differing views, and her relentless parade of bad faith assumptions—none of which she ever recognizes in herself of anyone who is “on her side.”
cynn
Something else to consider, perhaps, is that Edwards needs a feminist of good standing in his camp because Hillary is sure to point to her womanly bona fides as a good reason to get elected. So far, all the other “real” feminists have circled the wagons on this, so it appears at least so far to be paying dividends.
Where is Witheld when we need him? I’ve no doubt he would have some insight into this kerfuffle.
Let’s assume for a moment that there was an online article today in the Charlotte Observer concerning a perception that Edwards has moved hard to the left at the start of his campaign.
Let’s also speculate that a certain commentator from a formerly great but lately tarnished
political blog called PW decided that a comment about Edwards hiring of Amanda Marcotte is a classic indicator of his hard move left, referencing Pandagon and the nature, shall we say, of her comments and political outlook.
Let’s also realize that the Observer elected not to run the comments, even though they contain no profanity.
Of course, it might have been a waking dream…
To say nothing of your employ of the all-to-clever and blatantly-loaded phrase “academic feminist cant,” is your arbitrary appropriation of t-ball as a male signifier not a transparent attempt to shut down debate? Is the marginalization of girl t-ballsters itself not a coercive imposition of your male prerogative?
YOU CAN’T PLAY T-BALL WITHOUT BALLS happyfeet!
I hope that was intended irony…
Because I lol’d
Could be that Edwards knows what she is, has read her, realises that she is deleting postsn and likes it.
Nifong did get reelected after all.
So just sit back and assume that for all of his talk, Edwards real positions mirror the people whom he hired to promote his message. And everything he says counter is a lie.
Pretty simple really, why give him an advantage?
And about Duke, even if she did apologize to the Women’s team it would be insincere, and as far as the men’s team goesn well one out of ten professors on campus said the same thing, one more underinformed screechy femenist isn’t going to matter much. Unless she ends up teaching the bullshit “core” classes where everyone has to read “Beloved” and denounce their penis.
Besides, those people don’t live in Edward’s America.
Usually when you’re hired by someone, you take on their message. Not the other way around. Always has been for me. But maybe blogs are just totally different, and don’t abide by that oprression that having a boss and a paycheck and a principal/agent relationship brings.
So she’ll become a boot-licking running dog of the patriarchy to get another rich white man elected and as a progg you regard this as a good thing.
I regard it as a good thing as well: Maybe she can give Edwards massages and bring him snacks after she learns her place in the principal/agent relationship.
‘CUZ OF THE OPPRESSION!

Somebody needs to buy Pablo a copy of “Bend Over Boyfriend.†I think it would help.

Apparently “Bend Over Boyfriend” suffers from too much dialog, necessitating the sequel, “Bend Over Boyfriend 2: More Rockin’, Less Talkin’.” Myself, I can imagine longish scenes of negotiation are probably key to establishing realism in this genre.
I’m guessing that copious amounts of opiates would have been a production necessity.
