Shame on Jake Stump, who usually is better than this. In a story today in the Daily Mail, Stump does a story on Senator Byrd's health.
Of the five people he quotes in the story, four are Republicans. Other than Gary Abernathy, the other three Republicans sound positively ghoulish. Note to Stump: of the two major political parties in West Virginia, only one is relevant and it certainly isn't the Republican Party.
Byrd's illness has prompted rumor mongering and even a false report of his death on WSAZ.com this morning.
What is wrong with some of you people in the old media - and unfortunately some in the new media on the Republican side of the blogosphere - and in political office that causes you to act so irresponsibly and with such a lack of grace and decorum?
Some in politics and the press mock the bloggers as being irresponsible and using foul language, but why is it taking a dirty hippy blogger like me to remind some of you to act with more respect and responsibility? I'm certain your mothers raised you to behave better than this. Shame on you ghouls.
