Hamsher on Lieberman and Brady -- lots happening in the "woodshed"

Dear Jim,

We need to talk.

We’ve had our moments in the past but I’m worried about you, man. This is bad. Really bad.

I know it must’ve been damned near impossible to resist hiring some warmongering punk who ought to be in Iraq himself to sling proxy mud on those liberal bloggers who have beaten you like a rented mule, especially when you learned his old man was up to his elbows in Jack Abramoff.

But you’re supposed to be the go-to online guy for the Post, right? Isn’t it your job to know the ins and outs of the "fever swamp?" It’s not exactly an online secret that Red State is a bastion of racism, and Box Turtle Ben is one of the founders. But did you not do any due diligence and look at the guy’s history? The Hotline Blogometer’s William Beutler — a conservative DC blogger himself who would presumably know — has identified Ben as the "Augustine" of Red State. You need to step up and say if this is true or not, Jim. Right now.
