Someday, I hope, she'll go back to writing exclusively about legalizing marijuana and letting criminals back out on street at the earliest possible date, so that I'll once again be able ignore her like I always did.

While, I'm for the legalization of marijuana, that last section is actually how I found out about TalkLeft in the first place.  Two of my cousins who are criminal lawyers and knew that I blogged sent me the link with, "Is this lady for real?"

I don't disagree with some of her criminal law blogging and I found her viewpoint of the Libby trial from a criminal defense point of view to be very interesting.

But she's not a political analyst.  And the clearest evidence that she's not a political analyst and shouldn't be taken seriously is the fact that Armando never calls her on any of her analyses. Armando was loyal to kos during his years at dKos but he often called him on his political analyses.  Armando never calls Jeralyn on hers.   Never.

Yet another reason why I don't respect Jeralyn.  She should want that.  She should encourage it.  It would make her blog better. But she doesn't.  Hell, any time Armando writes anything that could even vaguely be thought pro-Obama or (even more rarely) anti-Hillary - she tolerates that he puts "speaking only for me" on it.  I'm not going to go so far as to say that she requires it, she probably doesn't.  But the fact that she feels that is appropriate? Speaks volumes about her.

On the one hand I don't take her seriously.  On the other hand I find her political blogging so awful that I don't want to support her blog by commenting there or giving it a lot of page hits.  So I don't.

The idea that BooMan even feels a need to debunk anything she writes?  I find laughable.

I think it's good that liberals and lefties get constant reminders that there are plenty of people on this side of the fence that can't think worth a damn, either. What the quote brings most to mind is trying to parse Creationism or Huckabee's tax plan. Exactly the same quality of thought, seems it me. Which opens up all kinds of cans of political and philosophical worms.
