And the feminimrod twin of Amanda Marcotte has also quit the Edwards campaign.

To think that they were going to rev up and act like they supported and cared deeply for Edwards is a joke.

Watching them turn on him the second they were caught was a lesson that all Democrat politicians should learn: the nutroots don't care about substance. They will feign interest in a candidate if they think it will serve their narrow political interests, and not one step further unless their blogmasters (or dogma) dictate as such. Note bene.

UPDATE: You might want to read through the comments at Shakespeare's Sister for a laugh. They're acting like somebody died. Here's a good one (emphasis mine):

Well, it might get lost in the avalanche of comments, but I just wanted to express my support. I'm a regular reader, both Pandagon and Shakespeare's Sister are daily fixes for me, but I saw the actual blurb about your resignation on CNN tonight.

I screamed at the TV.

But in retrospect - Those that feel that these resignations are a "win" for their side are horribly wrong. If anything, this whole situation with yourself and Amanda has only strengthened my resolve. It has given me anger, and with anger comes great passion. I will try to use it wisely, but I might need a day to cool off.

I write a feminist column on a news site that I belong to. As of late, I have been tapering off, because I began to feel apathetic, that it was hopeless and a waste of time.

Following this whole situation has jerked me back into reality. My column will now be back up on a regular basis, and I will continue to fight the good fight. If I can have an impact that is even a minuscule fraction of what you and Amanda have done, I will have accomplished my goal.

Thank you for your blog.

That, from this intrepid truth-shaman. Man - there's a whole world of talent we're just not seeing (apparently.)
