Ryne McClaren has another huge roundup on the Erin v. Hildebrand bloggers war. Here's part of what Erin says:
while it's clear to me that the Hildebrand Boys blogging and other activities are part and parcel of a tightly controlled system , one of the variables that came into play here is their involvement with me(Erin) outside of their circle. ...The problem here is that they saw an opportunity to make some quick "slam dunk" points to discredit Senator Thune and since I was not politically savvy, it didn't appear that I would be difficult to get "rid" of theoretically. In other words, they were "reasonably sure" that I wasn't the enemy, and wouldn't be that interested in their activities. ...
This is like the campaign all over again for them. If they had real jobs and a sense of reality, they could move on. It will never be over for them. They have lost sight of Tom Daschle and what's truly important. They have lost sight of why they wanted to be involved in the first place and are in a place right now that doesn't allow any reason.
The Whirwind Courtship is over now boys, do everyone a favor and move on. I'm sure that Mr. Daschle would appreciate it and so would everyone else. So, you feel stupid,angry,bitter and many other things, take your cue from one of your own when he talked about the fact that this is "modern politics".
As Ryne says, "Zing!"
