We got this interesting note by e-mail, from intrepid reader Cycle Logic  I post it with his/her permission.

I'm new to this blogging thing and from yours it seems the content is also new:  never in my wildest Blue dreams did I expect to see anyone in SD, (republican is a given) actually defend anything done by a male prostitute whose real identity is still a mystery.  Clearly a co-conspirator (with folks much more important than he) in getting into white house "briefs" during his offering of himself naked and "8 inches cut" I ask you, why do you believe anything a whore says?  (I know, you make an exception for this one.  Hope he doesn't want to get married!)

 

PS  Daschle is NOT dead!

I cannot speak for my fellow bloggers here at SDPolitics, but I do not give much credit to ad hominem arguments.  To say that X is wrong because X is a prostitute is a textbook ad hominem argument.  What counts is whether his arguments are sound and his evidence reliable.  I note that almost all the criticism of Gannon was ad hominem.  He is discredited because he was biased, or not a "real journalist" or because he was paid.  Or he is unworthy of a voice because of his "8 inch cut." I think I know what that means.  What no one has shown or even argued is that he was in fact wrong.  That's because he wasn't.

I trust that Daschle does in fact live, in a suburb of Washington D.C. to be precise.  I am content with that.
