John Edwards '08 Blog:
Statement on Campaign Bloggers  —  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 …

Edwards Blogger Flap Discomforts Religious Left  —  As the flap over alleged anti-Catholic writings by two John Edwards campaign bloggers devolves into a shouting match between conservative religious voices and liberal bloggers, some members of the "religious left" say they feel - again - shoved to the margins of the Democratic Party.
John M. Broder / New York Times:
Edwards Learns Campaign Blogs Can Cut 2 Ways  —  John Edwards learned the hard way this week of the perils of grafting the raucous culture of the Internet to the decidedly staider world of a presidential campaign.  —  Mr. Edwards announced on Thursday, after 36 hours of deliberation …

John Amato / Crooks and Liars:
Mary Matalin is Dazed and Confused  —  Her appearance on Imus this morning was just bizarre.  The main point Imus wanted to cover is if she actually told Libby that Tim Russert hated Chris Matthews.  I edited some stuff out (it's still a long clip) and tried to focus on her responses to this point and the Libby trial.
Christy Hardin Smith / Firedoglake:
The Trouble With Mary  —  (Graphics luv to commenter Andrea of the Huffington Post who sent this to Arianna.  Seemed so appropriate for today, somehow.)  —  It's just been one of those weeks for Mary Matalin, with all [Cheney's] her own words coming home to roost.

Judd Gregg Hurls Another Red Herring Onto Senate Floor  —  It must be handy for the Republican party to have a guy like Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) around.  Whenever they start taking the heat over some policy blunder or, as the country is painfully aware, their loyalty to George W.
