Oh Boy! Just when you thought the legacy media might have wised-up in the wake Dan Rather's career crash, along comes Nick Coleman, the worst columnist at the Worst Major Daily Newspaper in America. The old adage is that when you find yourself in a hole, you should stop digging. Instead, Nick has rented a metaphorical backhoe. Coleman is about to gain fame well beyond his home market, and I don't think he is going to enjoy the experience.
Evidently, Nick has been wounded deeply by the ridicule he has endured at the hands of fellow Minnesotans John Hinderaker and Scott Johnson, who comprise two of the three principals of Powerline, just named the first-ever "Blog of the Year" by Time Magazine. As result, he attempts to hit back with inuendo about the size of the sexual organs of his antagonists.
Today’s Minneapolis Star-Tribune publishes a column by Coleman that is so scurrilous in its innuendo, so devoid of fact and logic, and so downright stupid that it took my breath away. How on earth does material of this quality get by an editor? Are they all on vacation? Hinderaker and Johnson have both written their initial responses, which are far smarter and which have the virtue of being based on fact and actual references, but that is only the beginning.
You see, the blogosphere is an open forum, as the CBS News “fact checkers” discovered to their dismay. Already, fellow bloggers who are co-members of the Northern Alliance have jumped into the fray. Being fellow Minnesotans, they are well aware of the other foibles of Coleman and his second wife, Laura Billings, of the cross-(twin)town "rival" newspaper, the St. Paul Pioneer Press. This media couple lives in a glass house, and they have been throwing a lot of stones.
