I was stunned to learn a few minutes ago that Brittney Gilbert--author of WKRN's Nashville is Talking, has resigned her position. (Nashville is Talking » "I Guess This Is Goodbye").
I only caught the end of the furor that apparently brought her to this decision. But I skimmed the associated comment threads with incredulity. I couldn't believe how off-base these Olbermann pinschers were. Though Brittney and I agreed on little (in matters of public policy), I hate to see her go, and I hope that this incident merely helped her to make a difficult decision that she had not been able to make.
But I can't help but observe the irony of a bunch of Left-wingers claiming Brittney's scalp. Brittney was clearly a Liberal, but she was not intolerable and she was not intolerant. The same cannot be said of these Lefty netroot storm troopers. But these folks play for keeps, and unfortunately for the rest of us, they believe the end justifies the means.
We'll look forward to seeing what's next for you, Brittney.

Amazingly, Ned, you've been out-assed.

Sounds a lot like what happened to the rather liberal Don Imus. The left eating its own.
JP,
I hate to seem like I want you to expound on your point, but to anyone who looks at more than the letter after someone's name to determine whether they're an ass or not, your attempted slam rings hollow.
John,
While I do believe the nutroots are vicious and reflexive, and I see some similarities, I don't think that the Imus affair was as off the wall, or bullyish.
Hey, maybe JP is recycling a comment he once left for Imus?
