Reply #4: Just heard on CNN that both have now resigned. [View All]

[DemBones DemBones]

Marcotte resigned last night and McEwan evidently tonight -- at least Wolf Blitzer had it as "This Just In."



Edwards would have come out of this a lot better if he had asked for their resignations or fired them outright.

He defended keeping them on his staff because they told him they didn't mean to insult anyone's beliefs. :eyes:

As I told Edwards by e-mail, I know he couldn't have become a successful trial lawyer if he hadn't been able to tell when people are making statements that contradict what they've said in writing, i.e, when they're lying. Of course I know he's unlikely to personally read my e-mail but I'm sure the staff make notes of views expressed.

I wonder if he even bothered to read the pages referred to. I sent him quotes and the link to the page on Marcotte's blog which the quotes appeared on. I also told him she had taken down Part i of the article so I had to wonder if she had said even worse things in it. Again, I hoped that a staff member would take note of this information.

Interestingly enough, as I wrote this post I was hearing a CNN story on racism among white college students in the U.S. and now they've said they're about to do a report on anti-Semitism in Britain. Will we ever see a story on anti-Catholicism? Or on the anti-Christian views of many on the left? Don't hold your breath!

Thanks for the great links, pnwmom! :yourock:
