It’s always hard to know who looks more like the Salt Monster. Is it Debbie Schlussel? Or Susan Estrich?

Debbie:

Google thinks I’m all wet and says that Susan looks much much more like Balok — google Susan Estrich if you don’t belive me. But I think google is wrong here.

I’d say all concerned should take a deep breath–except there’s no judging how misjudged such a statement might be.

Remember, the Reagans were dead set against stem cell research until Ronnie got Alzheimer’s Disease. Then Mrs. Reagan became a champion for the issue.

I’ve read about Schlussel and forced myself to read some of her stuff that was linked to. She one of those right wing bloggers that give them all a bad name.

Taylor is a favorite blogger of mine and I read that article. She made a typo. Big deal. And the picture was a general google pic.
I posted at Taylor’s that conservatives always bitch about judges and litigation yet are the first to run to a lawyer whenever their feeling get hurt.

Yes. I have to delete it. We have a problem with comments, which include some complaints from not just a few readers but some cobloggers. I’m not around all the time but we will be giving gentle reminders.

FYI I just had to delete a comment. A bit too xrated for this site, plus we try to avoid personal attacks. It’s always better to focus on the ideas and issues. So do leave a comment but let’s keep it clean and issue oriented.
