Amanda Marcotte now passing 16 minute mark

The communications director for Lieberman's 2006 general election campaign, Dan Gerstein, offers "Liberal Bloggers Demonstrate Their Political Immaturity, Democrat Says":

...Throughout the course of the controversy, the left's bigger digital diatribers never stopped to address the substance of what the Edwards bloggers actually wrote before joining the campaign... Instead, right until the bitter end, most liberal bloggers responded in their familiar mode - by lashing out at their critics and trying to marginalize them... ...Indeed, even after the two Edwards staffers essentially surrendered, the few bloggers who wrote postscripts kept up the front of the petulant, blame-deflecting 15-year-old who got caught spreading rumors about the homecoming queen...

This is followed by comments:

...Why in the @#$% would you allow Joe's "Republican" mouthpiece to speak to what Liberal bloggers think, do and accomplish?...he is a right wing plant in the Republican-lite's attempt to take us further to war? ...even I can see your motivations flashing in the background like neon wallpaper... ...This is coming from the guy who was LIEberman's communication director in 06. and one of the oustanding issues from lieberman's 'screw the democratic process senate run' was his use of misinformation... ...Yes, it's the liberal bloggers that are immature, not the right wing blogs that have spewed hatred and lies toward us the past 12 years, against which we are finally standing up to... ...What I despise are paid lackeys like you, who never met a smear or innuendo you wouldn't wield in a heartbeat, arrogantly lecturing the unwashed masses on proper manners...

Meanwhile, as the clock excrutiatingly passes the 16 minute mark, the daemon herself pens "Why I had to quit the John Edwards campaign". I've taken the liberty of interspersing her real thoughts:

...So it surprised me [like hot **#@#@ *#@##**# @*!@*@] that my [hot sticky white] streak of luck would result in the [*##*!#! *#*@!&$$*#@!] John Edwards campaign calling and recruiting me [the $&#@#$@#* #*$@#$@#$* #$#($@#($@s!] for the position of campaign blogmaster. Of course, when I was informed [by that $(#@#($@# #(@#(@#($@# $$($((@#@] that the general gist of the job played to my strengths of writing about progressive politics and building a [hot sticky] blog audience...
