You don’t see this every day- you commenters are getting featured in Slate for coments made here:
In a response to a post that supports the decision on moderate blog Balloon Juice, commenter SomeCallMeTim snarks: “We were always going to declare victory and go home, regardless of the facts on the ground. The only question was whether we’d leave Iraq in the midst of a civil war or under the thumb of a Saddam-lite. I admit that I hadn’t considered that we make it a client state of Iran.”
Pretty funny, actually.

In a just world, it would have been DougJ. But that’s a quoteworthy comment.

That was an awesome quote from SomeCallMeTim, though.

Good job, SomeCallMeTim!

I have to say (modestly) that the comments on this site are consistently diverse & excellent. No offense John, but I hope your traffic stays at around this level
SomeCallMeTim
Wierd. Very wierd. Apparently I owe someone some sex.

I’m intensely curious to hear how you feel about being called a “moderate”…?

A good comment indeed. But probably not one that will increase John’s blogosphere reputation… hell, I see that Slate is only calling it a “moderate” blog now. All that fire and brimstone against Kerry, for nothing.. it seems like such a waste now..

I always felt we were being watched. I wonder if any of us with our less than loving posts about Bush will find it harder to get loans or anything like that.

Nah. You’ll just open your front door some morning and find the secret service and a SWAT team in your front yard.

The comment cudda been a contenda, but blew it with the limited and, well, plain un-nuanced “only question” bit.
Some of us have much higher expectations, are those are being gratified.
Cordially…
