Amanda Marcotte: "Break something. Set something on fire."

I think I was the first to point out that John Edwards hiring Amanda Marcotte as his Head Blogger showed how clueless he was. As Exhibit #84214592A-39124, I present to you her new post [1] called "If Paris Hilton makes you mad...". It links to a music video by some nobody, and says:

Ignore the sexist origins of the word. "Cunts"=assholes.

Break something. Set something on fire. Tonight you can find a way to resist. That asshole with a Bush bumper sticker? It can be removed.

The first comment on the post is today at 1:22am, leading me to suspect that this was posted very early this morning... Perhaps I could write a Wordpress plugin that would prevent such "early morning blogging".

Once again I ask: what was John Edwards thinking when someone there surely must have known that she posts things like this. Should he undergo an MRI to make sure his hair hasn't grown into and taken over his brain?

UPDATE: It was all just a dream! She's added this update at the top of the post:

To all the people linking to this post, if you gave half as much a shit about the lives of our troops as about the fate of a hypothetical bumper sticker in a very silly joke, then this war would already be over. How hard your life must be if the very idea of finding that someone has vandalized a bumper sticker that proclaims your asshole status would make you freak out. Having imagined a bumper sticker removal, perhaps you can imagine rebuying the "I'm An Asshole" bumper sticker.
