Washburn, Baby Burn

Des Moines Register editor Carolyn Washburn, who moderated the recent Republican and Democratic presidential debates to such dismal failure, gives her side of the disasters in a Register piece (hat tips to Instapundit and Riehl World View).
My favorite part:
… it’s a healthy experience for all journalists to be on the other side of the notebook and camera now and then. It’s good to experience what it’s like for our readers and sources to be covered, and what it’s like to be shot at by bloggers and people who leave disgusting personal comments on stories.
You gotta love how she smoothly links bloggers with disgusting people.
OK, since I’m a blogger, I’ll give it a whirl. You want disgusting? Here, let’s put it a way Ms. Washburn would understand: Show of hands, how many you want to see me eat refried beans with my mouth open?
OK, next question. Fifteen seconds. Does this look infected to you? Think it needs ointment?
Last question. Thirty seconds. Who dumped a whole truck load of feces into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner?
And a follow-up …Is this a great photo or what?
