Mark Landsbaum is a “professional” blogger at one of the most conservative news entities in the country (OC Register. I have a Kindle subscription, so I gladly pay). If I were to make a half dozen exemptions to the Blog Pimp rule, he would be one of them.
I love your treatment of the rest, however.
He may be many things, but his pimping activities make him a slimy hose-bag in my opinion.
His supposed ideology does not enter into the equation.
Cheers.
