Todd Epp pays SDP a compliment. I take the liberty of reproducing it here.
As you know, I have at times had running battles with the folks at South Dakota Politics. Their politics is way too far to the Right for my tastes and then there’s that whole NSU Hardy Boys thing.
But their coverage and commentary about Sen. Tim Johnson’s illness has been gracious, positive, and informative.
Jason, Jon, and Ken have shown real class these past several days with their good wishes for Sen. Johnson and his family. They have also been complimentary of my coverage.
While I think we South Dakotans like to over blow how much better and more special we are than the rest of the USA, I think in this regard we are: when one of our own goes down like Sen. Johnson, we all care, regardless of party affiliation.
I, for one, appreciate this. I enjoy arguing about politics, in case you hadn't noticed. I do not enjoy being mad at people, or having them be mad at me. I continue to believe that all of us on the regional blogosphere agree about a lot more than we disagree about, and we agree on the things that are most important. I am grateful to Todd for pointing this out.
