ERIC’S SPELL-CHECK

The day after a blogger boasts that, unlike the other blogspotters out there, he has editors, he should probably avoid using spellings like “incumbant.” I’d forgive a lone blogger, and I make some spelling errors and typos myself. But then I’m not edited. Can’t the mighty editors at Newsweek or MSNBC spell-check Alterman? He’s also waxing lyrical about privacy rights. I agree with him about David Brock’s privacy. But here’s his harrumph: “And I say shame on those who claim a right of personal privacy for their own lives but then jump all over Brock’s life to advance their own political agendas. (One more cute move like that one, Drudge, and you’re off my links list. So there!)” But where was Alterman last year when my privacy was being destroyed by his ideological friends and allies? Joining in with the best of them – gleefully. Figures.
