Every once in a while, a troll says something so breathtakingly lapidary in its stupidity, that it’s worth posting. At issue was the lack of party affiliation markers in articles about Portland Mayor Sam Adams’s sexual relations with an 18-year-old boy, which he lied about: Comment by parsnip on 1/26 @ 12:43 pm # Should the press right, say, David Petraeus, the Republican leader of military operations in Iraq and

Impeached Gov. Blagojevich, on the first leg of his media blitz timed to the start of his impeachment trial, in an NBC interview broadcast on The Today Show Sunday compared himself to human rights heros Nelson Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
