Patriarchy nearly done crushing Edwards blogger’s dissent; Salon: Edwards fires Marcotte

I haven’t written about this yet because I still can’t quite believe it. Marcotte’s been a punchline on Goldstein’s site for years; to see her suddenly materialize as lead blogger for a major presidential candidate is like the cat lady from the Simpsons being hired as White House press secretary. To call her a caricature of a doctrinaire feminist doesn’t even scratch the surface. Imagine a vicious parody of a vicious parody of a doctrinaire feminist and you’re at the appropriate remove of cartoonishness.
The Catholic League took it mainstream yesterday and now the buzzards are circling. Quote: “Mr. Edwards’s spokeswoman, Jennifer Palmieri, said Tuesday night that the campaign was weighing the fate of the two bloggers.” (The other is Melissa McEwan, a.k.a. Shakespeare’s Sister, a.k.a. “Queen C— of F–k Mountain.”) Picture poor Citizen John, glumly pondering his options while he stares vacantly through one of Xanadu’s many, many picture windows. If he keeps them on staff, he accepts their bigotry by implication. If he lets them go, he alienates the nutroots cretins he’s counting on to push him over the top — and at the very moment he’s taken the lead in their straw poll, too.
Barnett’s started the pink-slip equivalent of a dead pool. I don’t like to see anyone fired, no matter how much they deserve it, so I won’t participate. But I will make a prediction. If you think you’ve seen the worst of Marcotte, wait ’til the axe finally falls and she gets to respond to the uproar at Pandagon, using her idiom of choice instead of the diplospeak the campaign’s momentarily forced on her. The “patriarchy” will be blamed, the F-bomb ostentatiously deployed (conspicuous profanity being shockingly “unladylike” and therefore mandatory for the liberated consciousness), and the anti-Christian insults will come faster and furiouser — and filthier — than ever. Which, ironically, will only confirm the campaign’s good sense in deciding to can her. And of course, virtually to a man/woman, the nutroots will rally behind her. If that means mainstreaming someone who enjoys a little Virgin Mary/semen humor as part of her arguments about birth control, hey. The right wing is criticizing her; that’s all they need to know, just like it was all they needed to know about Jamilgate vis-a-vis the AP.
I leave you with Captain Ed and E.M., both of whom are looking at this in terms of the fallout for bloggers generally. This part from the latter’s post brought me up short:
Honestly, its time to let Amanda go. Let her and her “so rebellious its conformist” ideas be on her way. If we continue on the current path, we are signing away a license to skewer mercilessly any blogger ever hired by any Republican Presidential campaign without mercy. Its open season on everyone. There’s no political job that any of us can take without the understanding that we will now be vivisected for our very beliefs. And thats not something we are looking forward to.
Exit question: Laying aside the fact that it’s less her beliefs than her manner of expressing them that’s sunk Marcotte, does Em, can Em, possibly believe that the nutroots wouldn’t have gone after, say, Jeff Goldstein with ten times the fury if he’d been hired on somewhere? Like Good Lt. says, does anyone, left or right, think for a minute that Misha would be allowed to skate on free-speech grounds? We’re well, well past this point now. And here’s a bonus exit question for you: The left was mighty peeved that the Washington Post didn’t do one of those “routine” comprehensive plagiarism background checks on Ben Domenech before they hired him. Where’s their outrage now at Edwards for committing the same sin of omission and bringing on someone who makes them look like hateful, anti-Catholic boors?
Update: Jennifer Palmieri, the Edwards spokeswoman quoted by the Times, has appeared on this site before. Hmmm.
Update: Well, there you go. Shakespeare’s Sister got the boot too, apparently.
Update: Glenn’s thinking ahead.
A lot of the lefty bloggers are up in arms that this has become a scandal. (The desperation is apparent in posts like this one, especially when you follow the links back and compare the actual posts with Marcotte’s blogging). I suspect that this is because a lot of them would like to join the establishment, and now fear that their prior anti-establishment rantings will get in the way. It’ll be interesting to see if there’s more Pandagon-like airbrushing of blog archives over the next few weeks.
Update: In refusing to fight the right and its outrageous habit of accurately quoting Marcotte’s verbal turds, Edwards has fatally disappointed the fightin’ nutroots. And now, says Hotline, he must pay:
Todayt, Stoller makes clear Marcotte is Edwards first “bar fight” moment. Fellow MyDDer Chris Bowers asks Edwards: “Are you willing to point out the double standards and hypocrisy behind this story, or will you cave to even the mildest pressure from the Republican Noise Machine?”…
Daily Kos diarist wilbur also sees “an extraordinary opportunity” and urges Edwards to “rally the netroots troops and hit back hard.”
If Edwards understood what he was doing when he hired Marcotte, he must follow the advice of Bowers and Wilbur. When Edwards hired Marcotte he signed up to a hard hitting unapologetic movement, a movement whose rhetoric is, shall we say, not always appreciated in the mainstream. If he backs off the ethos now, he can kiss their support away forever.

Get out the popcorn. This is going to be an amusing 2 years. The Conservatives unite around God, Family and Country. The Libs rally around gays, militant feminists and unite against anyone that supports God, Family and Country. The Libs are so self-destructive it’s a wonder that anyone takes them seriously. Edwards deserves whatever he gets in terms of fallout over this. Edwards lost his own state because he is so disconnected from the values of this area of the country.
Guardian on February 7, 2007 at 12:00 PM
I think about any blogger who has been around a while probably has written something that can be used to try and embarrass a political candidate, but a lot of it would be reaching. It’s just with Marcotte and lot of top liberal bloggers they are constantly using obscenity filled over the top rants that are completely inappropriate for a candidate trying to appeal to the mainstream. If Edwards had hired Kevin Drum, a controversy like this would be stupid, but with Marcotte you wonder if his campaign even read any of her material first.
frankj on February 7, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Oh, I just can’t wait for that … imagine the possibilities for lampooning such an outburst.
thirteen28 on February 7, 2007 at 12:05 PM
Allah, great prose here:
Im hoping that Edwards fires her by text message. It is the modern equivalent of waving a hand and saying “get thee hence foul wretch!”
BelchSpeak on February 7, 2007 at 12:11 PM
Part of me can’t believe the self-deception that allowed Marcotte to take the gig in the first place.
Only someone who is really delusional could have possibly believed that past outbursts like Amanda’s wouldn’t come back to haunt her in a more mainstream venue like, oh, a candidacy for the presidency of the United States of America.
Fred on February 7, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Now that’s nice! What did they really think? That no one was going to say anything? They should be let go just for being stupid.
bloggless on February 7, 2007 at 12:17 PM
A classic example of the “two Americas” Edwards talks about from “Tortland of Chapel Hill”.
bloggless on February 7, 2007 at 12:19 PM
I can’t wait to hear about how she intends to punish us all for this episode by having lots of angry, non-procreative sex.
World B. Free on February 7, 2007 at 12:19 PM
Yeah, good point. My blog alias alone is enough to scare off employers. Does she really think jit jokes about a revered Christian figure would be laughed off?
Allahpundit on February 7, 2007 at 12:23 PM
While every blogger (or every writer, for that matter) has probably written things that could be used against him or her, I’d argue that NOT every writer has written things like what Marcotte wrote.
Her writing, above all else, pegs her as non-serious. Lacking in professionalism. That’s what excludes her, not the vulgarity. The simple lack of gravitas.
By those standards, Goldstein or Ace could admittedly never get hired - but there are plenty of bloggers (left and right) who are serious thinkers, vulgar or not. That isn’t meant to insult anyone - just the truth.
For what it’s worth, I don’t think I’d hire ANY blogger to write the actual content, if I was running a campaign. I might hire a blogger for marketing, for web design, for all the behind the scenes nuts and bolts of running a blog … but the CONTENT would come from a serious, respected writer.
No offense, but bloggers aren’t magic. Most of them aren’t very good writers, with a few exceptions. Their most important contributions could be made without plastering a name associated with vagina-jokes all over your presidential campaign. I’m sure as a behind the scenes advisor, Marcotte would have been fine.
Letting her actual name see a byline in print, however, was lunacy.
I actually feel sorry for Edwards, and for any politician in his shoes. These days, you’ve got to take advantage of the Web. And it seems to make sense to turn to someone like Marcotte - or it seems to make sense, if you personally know nothing about blogs.
Professor Blather on February 7, 2007 at 12:23 PM
Being in eastern NC and working at a institute of higher edumakashun I’m surrounded by liberals. Many of whom think John Kerry is a war hero and was slandered by the right.
There’s talk around campus about sweet, sweet Amanda and what she’s doing to the poster boy for liberal politics and they ain’t happy about it. Even if they are liberals they’re still in the bible belt and an attack on Christians, even if they are Catholics, isn’t something they’ll take lightly.
phineas g. on February 7, 2007 at 12:26 PM
AllahP-
I linked you in the Jawa post, and updated to point out something profound you stumbled upon.
Marcotte is the senile, screaming cat lady in the Simpsons. Flip through her Flickr site for a few pages.
Good Lt on February 7, 2007 at 12:28 PM
I heard Goldstein’s notorious Armadillo is considering an offer to become “Blogger-in-Chief” for the Pappoon campaign…
…
Ok, I just made that up. But it bespeaks a truthiness, doesn’t it?
mojo on February 7, 2007 at 12:35 PM
She isn’t just a feminist, she is a Stalinist’s feminist.
tommy1 on February 7, 2007 at 12:40 PM
What if she went to rehab? Would that make it better?
Edwards tried to sign a big name free agent to keep the season ticket holders on board and drive some new sales. It turns out that that free agent has some baggage. I hope that she held out for a signing bonus.
rw on February 7, 2007 at 12:42 PM
Unfortunately, once this all plays out both of these self-proclaimed “twats” will be canonized by the lefties and will rise to new heights, both politically and monetarily.
All I can say is, “Watch your ass Markos Moulitas Zuniga”!
Your days, and those of the DailyKos being on top of the dung pile, are numbered! Or perhaps you should go immediately to godaddy and purchase dailytwat.com before it’s too late!
Dread Pirate Roberts VI on February 7, 2007 at 12:43 PM
I can’t imagine Edwards firing her. He wants to get the far left on his side and she does speak for them, in all her vile bigoted hatred, she does speak for them.

Why couldn’t the right have kept it’s big mouth shut? Honestly, whose interest does it serve to have Amanda on the Edwards team? Not to mention the comedy potential. If the Breck Boy’s minions were happy with the choice, that should have been enough for us.
Carin on February 7, 2007 at 1:30 PM
Prof,
I beg to differ - Goldstein can write. Bloggers are not magic - but they can bring an audience with them. And if they have been successful, they can also bring some understanding of how the medium works.
Would you have a print journalist be your blogger-in-chief? A fiction writer? A tech writer?
major john on February 7, 2007 at 1:35 PM
The thing is your rants have to be backed up by reality and not just by hatrid.
BDS is an example of this. You cant hate bush to the point that you actively work to undermine the US. And that is why we need to condeme the leftist nutters out there for thier irrational hatrid that ultimately targets every american and not just Bush.

Well of course he’s a tool of the patriarchy. His namesake is the alpha and omega of the real patriarchy that exists in the world.
Defense Guy on February 7, 2007 at 2:10 PM
I can sort of see how it might not occur to a busy presidential campaign to comb through the gazillions of words a blogger has spewed out. But how could this woman actually think she’d make a good representative for somebody who wants to sit in the Oval Office? (Or as Amanda might put it, who wants to swing his tiny white c*ck all over the f*cking White House sh*t p*ss doodie.) What a loon. I mean, if some presidential candidate asked me to run a campaign blog, I’d have to wait until I’d stopped laughing before I respectfully declined.
Jim Treacher on February 7, 2007 at 2:27 PM
Agreed. She’s an English lit major. So it’s not like there is any private-sector job market for which she’s qualified. Therefore, if she loses this gig, there is no safety net. And if she’s too toxic to work as a blogger for a Democrat in the “nutroots primary” phase of a campaign, she’s got no political future at all.
Ali-Bubba on February 7, 2007 at 2:28 PM
And this is new, somehow? No, it’s just in real time and the number of participants has increased by several orders of magnitude.
What is BDS if not ideological vivisection? And that’s old hat.

HA’s timing on the Vent, yesterday, was perfect.
Nothing like mise en temps! Laudable!
I agree with the Professor on the timing but for the blog-world in general this is a good thing. It reminds me of the repeated notes on this blog, and to self, how important it is to take a deep breath before hitting the ’submit’ button.
Most ridiculous, much more colorfully said in AP’s write up, is - how did this get picked for such a job? Shows logical flaws in the Edwards team and that must hurt the most.

As to the use of inappropriate language, it demeans the author and those reading it. Those spewing, writing it show the content of their charcater and we all know it is acceptable to judge individuals for the content of their character…especially if you have a dream.

Alden Pyle on February 7, 2007 at 4:03 PM
Nice how Salon managed to turn a brief story about Edwards firing foul-mouthed bloggers into a bash Michelle fest using guilt-by-association tactics.
I don’t expect much from a site that employs Michelle “Leviticus was a person” Goldberg to comment on religion, but even for Salon that was pretty low.
John on February 7, 2007 at 4:07 PM
Amanda Marcotte probably got four years of liberal college profs telling her that gender was simply a “construct” of the Catholic “patriarchy” who simply wanted to keep down women. . .and the chick believed it. She probably really thinks she is intelligent when she bitches about and rebels against the Catholic Church’s insistence on moral absolutes using four-letter words.
Now that she has been fired, maybe she can ponder why it is that only women seem to drive hundreds of miles in diapers or sabatoge parachutes to bump off love rivals. Can you imagine a man doing that? So much for gender “constructs,” Amanda. You can curse all you want; it doesn’t change the truth.
januarius on February 7, 2007 at 4:12 PM
Ha. Ohh. These two HotAir episodes were terrific. This newer one is even funnier than the first. It’s all a bit dry when ya read these things, but from the writing, that woman surely didn’t look much different mashing the keyboard than how Michelle played her. Who knows, maybe Michelle underplayed it! Done in by her own words. Glenn Reynolds is probably right - gonna be a lot of house cleaning at wacko blogs this week, just in case. Course, the Left has a sneaky habit of retreading old tires, after laying low for a while.
naliaka on February 7, 2007 at 4:31 PM
AllahPundit states:
One more thing:
It is her postmodern beliefs–that everything is a “construct,” there is no such thing as truth, no inherent differences between men and women, no differences between Western civilization and any other culture, that America is a source of evil instead of good, the Catholic Church and evangelicals keep down women, and all her other liberal beliefs that sunk her. . .not only the way that she expressed them.
januarius on February 7, 2007 at 4:33 PM
I have been amazed - well, not really - to see the nutroots’ assertion that Marcotte’s screed machine is NOT pumping out “hate speech”. She must be really upset to hear them say so since it is crystal clear she has constructed her statements to carry as much venom as they can possibly hold. If her own pals don’t recognize it as vile hate she’s going to have to admit that her attempts at provocation are failing miserably.
The Ritz on February 7, 2007 at 4:35 PM
Do they mention the horrid things she said in any of the articles about the bloggers being fired? The ones I read just mentioned who had complained, and not the content of her babbling hate speech.

1. You can actually write.
2. You don’t claim to be oppressed, as does Marcotte. In my Venn diagram, “the oppressed” and “English lit majors” are non-intersecting sets. If you don’t want to be poor and downtrodden, major in business or go to law school.
Ali-Bubba on February 7, 2007 at 5:05 PM
Nobody really expected Edwards to retain Marcotte after this story broke in the MSM, did they? The guy would dump his own grandmother if it was politically advantageous.

English Literature and Social Sciences are the only two areas in modern academia where Marxism is still taken seriously.

Okay, so against my better judgment I followed the link (thanks, Dudley!) … and started laughing so hard I may just have peed a little. I definitely sprained a rib.
Above all else, what makes liberals so funny is that they have zero sense of humor and take themselves sooooooooo seriously. It’s that bitter seriousness that always cracks me up, and when I saw the first line at MyDD, I howled with laughter. Here it is:
Wait. Say it out loud. Imagine yourself - with a straight face - responding to a differing point of view by threatening to unleash not only a “pretty vicious rant” but also an IMPORTANT ACTION ALERT.
(Snort) (Guffaw) (Giggle)
Seriously, try it. Just that part. Out loud. “Damn you, Michelle Malkin … I’m going to issue an IMPORTANT ACTION ALERT …”
(holding sides) (gasping)
Oh, dear Lord, that kind of thing just begs to be mocked. Forgive me. It’s just too … damn … funny.
I’d keep an eye on that thread for the impending IMPORTANT ACTION ALERT. Or something like that.
(walks away still howling with laughter)
Professor Blather on February 7, 2007 at 5:18 PM

I liked the dire threat on that MYDD link that if Edwards doesn’t make the right decision (to retain Marcotte) that he faces a sharp drop in the DailyKos straw poll. As someone who will be voting Republican in 2008, I can only hope that the Dems nominate the leader of the DailyKos straw poll.
Dudley Smith on February 7, 2007 at 5:41 PM
And to me, but to the left race is a function of politics, not genetics. She’s conservative, ergo she’s a white supremacist notwithstanding the fact that she herself is, per their preferred nomenclature, a “brown person.”

As one of the (few?) resident Dems, I say good riddance to bad rubbish. Whatever points Marcotte was making with those absurd posts is lost in the vitriolic slime she spews from her pie hole. That crap is wrong left or right.
SouthernDem on February 7, 2007 at 7:38 PM
Crazy, ain’t it? And since she’s pro-life, Michelle is also “anti-woman,” plus being “anti-immigrant” for supporting enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
Such accusations make sense only in a world where hiring Amanda Mancotte is considered a smart move.

I assume the scare quotes are there to highlight the irony that an anti-Catholic bigot went to a Catholic university; if not, I’d be curious about why the scare quotes were used. I received my teaching credential from St. Ed’s. It’s got a great program and it’s a good school.

bookwurm322 on February 7, 2007 at 8:51 PM
If you’re like the “Southern Dems” here in Tennessee, you don’t exactly count as a leftist moonbat. Most Democrats around here - unless they’re still in college - are more conservative than most East Coast or West Coast Republicans.
Sure, they might raise your taxes - but they’ll see you in church on Sunday morning, their kids are in Iraq, and they have more guns than I do.
You ain’t the kind Marcotte wants to hang with.

It’s going to be hard to find a blogmaster from the lefty looney sites that hasn’t said something stupid over the last few years. On the Internet, once it’s out there, it’s out there permanently.
When you’ve put down belief in God and moral values your whole adult life it’s hard to pretend even for just two years that you’re a good God-fearing person.
