I got a good chuckle out of this.

Will SayAnything do the right thing and drop its membership from Pajamas Media? Any blogger who would do something as despicable as plaster the name of a page in that situation all over the internet (and people who promote that kind of behavior) shouldn’t be given the time of day by self-respecting North Dakotans.

What this blogger, Ryan Gustafson, is alleging is that this blog had something to do with some other blogger who allegedly made public the identity of one of the pages Mark Foley was communicating with.  He reaches that conclusion because Pajamas Media linked to the blogger who did the revealing, and I’m a member of Pajamas Media.

By his logic then I guess he himself, by merit of his membership in the Democrat party (he is a Dem candidate for the ND House this campaign season, which just shows you how desperate ND Democrats are for candidates), guilty of banging an intern in the Oval Office.  Since, you know, Bill Clinton did that...and he’s a Democrat.

Personally, I find it hilarious that Gustafson would try to lecture “self-respecting North Dakotans” on which blogs they should or should not read given that his co-blogger Brad Mills once had this to say about our state:

[North Dakota culture] is racist, bigoted, repressive, backwards and ultraconservative to the point to where it makes most moderate and liberal people just want to get the hell out of here as soon as they possibly can.

Gustafson, you’ll also remember, is the guy who upon announcing his candidacy for the state House of Representatives had to delete all of the posts on his blog so that North Dakotans searching for information on his candidacy wouldn’t instead run across posts where he accused our troops of using WMD’s in Iraq against Iraqi citizens.

I suspect that what Gustafson wants from this post is attention for his blog, and I guess I’ll give it to him but only because the charge he makes is serious.  I had nothing to do with publishing information about any of the pages associated with the Foley scandal.  I am not sure what Pajamas Media’s involvement in the matter is, but I’ll look into it later when I have more time.  I’m willing to bet, though, that it isn’t anything like how Gustafson is characterizing it.
