John Edwards website has a blog.

His blogmaster has a blog.

What is it about the Left and their love affair with vulgarity? And, how did such an apparently unhinged lefty get the position as blogmaster for Edwards?

See Malkin and HotAir.

Update: A lot more is being said - see ProteinWisdom, K-Lo, Creative Destruction, Patterico, Riehl World View, Beltway, and Instapundit.

A note to all bloggers, whether Right or Left - remember these words,

What you commit to your blog cannot be erased. It will follow you for as long as anyone cares to follow you, and significant people are followed very long indeed, especially by those they injure, whether rightfully or not.

- Hugh Hewitt, In, But Not Of, pgs. 149 - 150

Update 2: Hugh Hewitt covers this bit of news.

I tell young bloggers that what they write will trail them, and so they should stick to –as Alex Haley put it– finding the good and praising it while they are young and still figuring out what they believe. Attack blogs are fine for those who don’t ever intend to participate more formally in public life.

Update 3: HotAir outdoes itself with today’s Masterpiece Theater. It would appear that the blogger has been fired. Instapundit has an interesting take,

A lot of the lefty bloggers are up in arms that this has become a scandal. (The desperation is apparent in posts like this one, especially when you follow the links back and compare the actual posts with Marcotte’s blogging). I suspect that this is because a lot of them would like to join the establishment, and now fear that their prior anti-establishment rantings will get in the way. It’ll be interesting to see if there’s more Pandagon-like airbrushing of blog archives over the next few weeks.

Dean Barnett is applying for the newly available position as John Edwards’ blogmaster.

There’s a lesson to be learned from this story…
