But wait! All is not lost. The remaining comments are not gone where Deborah Howell tried to blink them out of existence. Surprise, surprise, surprise! (Gomer style). They just went somewhere else where you have to dig to find them. You can now find those mass-deleted comments that are now cached in Yahoo search (January 17 th- 18th WaPo blog comments) while Democratic Underground has the January 19th comments archived here, and WaPo Lies have the January 15th - 16th comments archived. Those bots really do work fast. Deborah Howell simply didn't move fast enough. And funnier still, I don't really see any foul language post-WMDs (weapons of mass deletions). Just a lot of heavy criticisms lobbed in Howell's direction about the heavy deletion that would've been worthy to be left alone for posterity sake on the internet.
Thanks for supplying the link to the cached comments. Nothing makes me want to read blog comments more than when a big organization pulls the old mass deletion trick.
