I flippin' hate the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Times Picayune
I'm reading the TV reviews and they mention the Democratic debate with a comment about Hillary, Obama and "who was that guy with the nice hair?" Yeah it's just the fricking TV review but I'm so sick of Edwards getting downplayed and getting picked on about the hair. I think I'm going to let this stew for a while and then after I've been fully caffeinated fire off a LTTE complaining about it. Jackasses.

Here's a snip
"• Monday night's tussle between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on CNN (who was that other guy with the nice hair?) is the top-rated debate ever on cable, with almost 5 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research numbers."

3. I read it as sarcasm

Seeing that Edwards gets ignored by the media quite a bit. Cuprisin may or may not be a lefty, but he certainly isn't a wingnut.

I don't see the JS as being a RW paper. They seem to want to please everyone by appealing to both sides, which is what a paper should do. Too bad they run garbage on their editorial page like Jonah Goldberg, Cal Thomas, Krauthammer, Ramirez and Bok cartoons and Mallard Fillmore to do this. I would think they could find better RW columnists and flacks, if in fact they exist.

4. I can definitely be sarcasm impaired when it's a subject I feel strongly about
Probably I'm over reacting huh?

5. Not over reacting
If it was sarcasm it wasn't handled as well as it could have been. He could have added something like (hint: John Edwards) to show he wasn't the one dissing Edwards. Until the JS has a :sarcasm: button, he (and all of them) should be more careful.
