Michelle Malkin has the details and a link roundup.

Marcotte and her faithful supporters are, of course, blaming this on “the right” and “Catholic activists” but in actuality she was a victim of her own hateful excesses and likely felt she couldn’t live up to Edwards’ expectations. Heck, Edwards had decided to keep Marcotte and the other blogger in this whole brouhaha (Melissa McEwan) after having a little heart to heart with them over things they’d said in the past on their blogs, so it’s not like she can say she was “forced out.” The gal chose to step down herself - and because of a choice she made today, even after Edwards told her she could still stay on the campaign, she’s blaming others for her decision.

What a fitting an end to this controversy and how typically liberal the explanation for her decision: It’s not MY fault I had to do it!

  2. Amanda Marcotte Has Resigned from the Edwards Campaign

    But not because she wrote anything hateful that could potentially reflect poorly on Edwards. No, she resigned because of Bill Donohue’s witch hunt and “scorched earth campaign” to get her fired for her personal beliefs and writings and because she’…

  3. Foul-mouthed Lib bloggers “resigns” from Edwards campaign

    After gloating over media stories reporting her firing, Amanda Marcotte ahs now announced that she has quit the Edwards campaign. I’m very familiar with these "resignations" that come amidst political scandal. I was once fired from a job aft…

  4. It’s Always Someone Else’s Fault

    but her critics only quoted her writing, which beyond being foul is so childish, self-absorbed, bigoted, bitter and illogical.

    Welcome to the real world Marcotte where in order to be respected you need to act like an adult.

  1. Sis as a good little goosestepper, it really is someone else’s fault. You see John Edwards heart to heart told her that she needed to cool the rhetor”ic”. Well what is the next thing out her mouth?? “YOU ARE LIMITING MY RIGHTS TO FREE SPEECH!!!! YOU B******!!!!” So you can see that it can’t be her fault as her extreme leftist viewpoints are totally mainstream. Well at least according to the latest polls. - Lorica

  2. I’m wondering what she’s going to do to show that this time, she’s really mad? She’ll, what, swear twice as much? How will we know?

    Sadly (for her), she’s off the radar screen again, and whatever nasty bile she spews on her blog, nobody but the members of her private echo chamber are going to read it. Unless sone other pol is clueless enough to hire her, in which case it’s all going to come into play again. But they’re all privately thanking Edwards for stepping on that land mine for them.
