Yep, Glenn's right as usual. This was one of the dumber things Putz ever wrote:
Among right-wing pundits -- weeks before the election -- there was nothing but support for Craig and outrage over the reporting of this story. The most hysterical outrage of all was from Glenn Reynolds, who went so far as repeatedly to predict -- literally -- that the country would be so repulsed by Rogers' reporting that it might actually swing the election in favor of the Republicans. More absurdly still, Reynolds cited a grand total of two reasons why he voted for GOP's Bob Corker over Harold Ford in the Tennessee Senate race, one of which was actually Rogers' report on Craig ("the sexual McCarthyism from the pro-outing crowd . . . . has convinced me that [Democrats] just don't deserve a victory with those tactics").You know what? Strike that. "Random liberal bloggers in Idaho are homophobic bigots who won't stay out of people's personal lives -- vote Republican!" is easily the dumbest thing ever written by anyone, ever.
