People will watch a car chase for hours on the off chance the car ends up running into something. People also love to talk dirt and rumor, my guess is because you don't have to really know anything to speculate about things. Scandal drives up blog hits which makes your ads more valuable.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04551264439871137611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23490549.post-54617326480895036082007-06-14T00:42:00.000-04:002007-06-14T00:42:00.000-04:00Charles, you're absolutely correct.

Almost every time I've read his posts it appears he has asserted things that turn out to be false, or at best, speculative. Worse, they were all unnecessarily so since he could relatively easily have checked them out for accuracy with a modest amount of investigation. Yet, his only defence seems to be that people read his blog more than others, as if the fact that people are fascinated by a car wreck makes car wrecks a socially valuable and desirable occurrence that we should encourage. On the Mark Warner million dollar post he confirmed irrevocably that he's an idiot. How could anyone claiming to have any knowledge of local politics not been sufficiently skeptical of that information to investigate it before posting it. Even the idea that Paul Nichols would have a $1 million campaign budget seems improbable. Its more likely that his "rock solid" source (who I expect has fed him lousy information in the past) tried to save some face with that spin. Really, how could Greg possibly have bought the $1 million thing!<BR/><BR/>Greg L. really is a disgrace and hurts our party, whether we're conservatives or moderates. At the very least he needs to be ostracized by party members. Even better he needs to be taught that there are serious repercussions for acting irresponsibly. What is the status of the lawsuit against him and is there a way to contribute to its prosecution?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
