A Plea to Lefty Commentators Regarding PlameGate
We'd like you to stop using the phrase "Turd Blossom" as a synonym for "Karl Rove." We know it's Rove's honest-to-God Bush-given handle , and it is funny -- Who doesn't laugh at the thought of "poo"? Or the President saying "turd"? Ha! Ha-ha! -- but the use of that epithet lowers the level of the debate, diminishes the real gravity of the case, and diverts attention from the vital principles at stake.
Also, it insults turds.
