Rave Reviews
Each week, I mercilessly skewer politicians in my syndicated column, occasionally drawing fire from partisan blogs on both sides. Of course, if I happen to point out that bloggers don't adhere to basic journalistic standards and are unwitting (and sometimes willing) pawns for the parties, that's when the hysterical posts go up and misspelled hate mail flies in.
My favorite tributes:
Michigan Liberal's Wanker of the Day
My crowning glory. I reordered my business cards accordingly and am still awaiting my commemorative plaque, signed by the pseudoanonymous blogger of Michigan Liberal's choice. It will look lovely above my fireplace.
Susan the MSM Goddess
I stand corrected. That one's even better. Bloggers with porn-star worthy names flog me for being a bad journalist for my column on how the media owe readers better government reporting, proving that reader comprehension is overrated.
Right Michigan: Offical Jennifer Granholm Media Pal
It will surely come as news to Gov. Granholm that we're best buds. But although I'm a "typical lefty tax-and-spend liberal," my criticism of the gov means I rate with right-wing wingnuts. Hurrah.
Fourth-Rate Rush Limbaugh Screams About Me
Public access talent waxes weird about my mug shot and "socialist banter."
Scourge of the Blogosphere
According to liberals, I am that powerful.
Creepy Liberal Wants to Send Me Flowers
It's all a conspiracy. I am out to destroy liberals, especially
Mark Schauer. Really.
The Most Prolific and Professional Journalist in the 7th District
"She's always been fair to all candidates-- even when I might wish she were a little more harsh on (Tim) Walberg," so says Walberg Watch, a blog that's entirely too kind to me.
