Looks like John Edwards' two definitely-not-bigoted bloggers have "volunteered" to step down from their posts on his campaign. It's a smart and necessary move by Edwards, though of course he's trying to have it both ways: unburden himself from having to answer for the bloggers' statements on "Christofascists" (and their own vaginas), while at the same time trying not to incur the wrath of the Tourettic left which bore them in the first place.
But he had to let them go. While it's a big buzz in the blogosphere, it is still a vagina-in-a-teacup, which is to say, the majority of voters have no vagina what it's about. Best for Edwards to get out now.
These bloggers -- at least one of whom thinks herself a "twat" -- are careening through their 14th minute of fame this week, and as of next, you won't remember their ... names.

PS, I intended to title this "The vagina demagogues" but someone beat me to it. I did manage to find that Ms. Marcotte has mentioned her own and other people's vaginas over 300 times in the last year or so. Just sayin'.
