My letter to Mickey today:
Mr Kaus,
While I have stopped regularly reading your weblog due to a complete lack of intellectually stimulating content, I happened to come across your post today attempting to revive the Alex Poiler smears. The depths to which you will sink in order to attack John Kerry seem to know no bounds. Since your attempts to repeat the media lie that Kerry is a flip-flopper are so routinely exposed by other bloggers as pathetically dishonest, you now have to engage in Drudge-like mud slinging. Perhaps this will increase the hits to your blog, but it only reinforces the notion that you are incapable of even a shred of intellectual honesty in your shrill Kerry bashing. Our country is facing serious problems and your attempts to constantly smear the Kerry without any context to the larger issues has demolished any shred of credibility you once had.
Sincerely,
Seriously, this guy is a pathetic, intellectually dishonest hack and it is time that he get's called on it. We need to start a campagin in the blogosphere to stop reading his blog, and consider a Slate boycott until either they put some kind of editorial leash on him or add another blogger who actually writes something relevant. He is a waste of space and the Slate editors need to know that.
