I know I shouldn't be surprised...

But you think that in a week of being on John Edwards' publicity, er, campaign tour, that Scoble could have ONCE posted something about what Edwards FREAKIN' SAID. A position! Anything!

Instead, we get him circle-jerking the "blogosphere" party line, aka, "bloggers good, not-bloggers bad", and doing exactly what his handlers wanted, namely, giving Edwards pseudo-legitimacy amongst the technophile idiots who think that if you have humpty-million bloggers all typing away, that magically, you'll have better information than ever before in history. He brags about his access to Edwards, then pisses it away like shitty beer. Dude, next time you get that call, give it to someone who will do something useful with it besides tech-penis wankery.

The only thing that many monkeys on keyboards creates are shitstains on the ceiling. Only the "blogosphere" isn't even good for fertilizer. At least you can eat a monkey. Can you imagine trying to properly dress a blogger?

Best quote of Scoble's posts:

One thing I’ve never seen as a Californian is the interactions that normal everyday people have with political candidates like they have in Iowa.

Dude, one thing you've never seen is normal people period.

I have to give Edwards a hand though. It takes real balls, big, brass, thundering balls of fucking DOOM to so blatantly manipulate a group of people that large, and have utter confidence that it will work!

He did, and it did. Edwards, you rock. Scoble, you got used like a dockside whore at a counterfeiter's convention.
