John Edwards
February 8, 2007
"The tone and the sentiment of some of Amanda Marcotte's and Melissa McEwan's posts personally offended me. It's not how I talk to people, and it's not how I expect the people who work for me to talk to people. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that kind of intolerant language will not be permitted from anyone on my campaign, whether it's intended as satire, humor, or anything else. But I also believe in giving everyone a fair shake."
—Edwards, deciding to keep his two newly hired, liberal bloggers on board despite the dirt conservatives are digging up on them. A week later, both would resign.
