WaPo takes down blog comments criticizing its gross new Red Amer. blog?

[DesEtoiles]

I can't access it. Anyone else. MORE censorship of the left by the WaPo?

1. I noticed that this evening

something about accepting comments via email so there wouldn't be (paraphrasing) rowdy postings from extreme folk...

2. I got a "bandwidth exceeded" message when I clicked the link.

5. Just the same, I emailed this to brain-dead Ben today:

In response to this blatant bilge:

If these columnists and scientists are to be believed, then President Bush is just a real-life version of Dr. Strangelove's General Jack D. Ripper - blustering, impotent and murmuring about conspiracies to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids, just another spineless conservative wussyboy who has to prove he's a big brave man in cowboy boots.

Subject: Dr. Strangelove reference
Nice try, Ben. The truth is George W. Bush is Merkin Muffley, but he wants us all to think he's Bat Guano. Though from the results of his policies, one could make a fair argument that he's Major Kong.

6. is this supposed to balance Dan Froomkin??

I haven't read the Red blog yet, but from the excerpt in your post, it would seem that The Post has hired a fight-trained pit bull to provide balance to a service dog -- a golden retriever, perhaps.

What is Len Downie thinking??

7. Not sure if there's much thinking involved

If you haven't read the blog yet, spare yourself the trouble. It's crap.
