PeeDee Wide Shut Scrub A Dub Dub

Submitted by Administrator on Tue, 10/30/2007 - 7:47pm.

Just a quick heads up to our friends over at "LaTourette'sDealer" (aka.the Plain Dealer). You might want to scrub your blog's "about" page. It's embarrassing to have the guy you fired at a Congressman's request still listed on your website.

Also, to folks around the Ohio 'sphere...I'd recommend a boycott of PeeDee links for the future. Take them off your blogrolls. Stop linking to their stories. Etc. Since the paper's made a conscious decision to be an extension of LaTourette's re-election campaign, y'all shouldn't be supporting that sort of thing.

Also, Eric's got a tally of all 10 posts around the 'sphere regarding this little bruhaha. I'd say the paper and LaTourette have a problem on their hands.
