As I wrote, his withdrawal was clearly done because he knew Obama’s campaign placed great value in their continued goodwill.
I understand that’s what you believe. I don’t think it passes the smell test. Obama has appointed a number of people that have raised the ire of the blogosphere, and “the Obama Express” continues to hum down the track. I would say this: watch and see if Obama keeps McConnell and Hayden in place, despite the opposition of the fearsome Greenwald.
In any regard, it seems your beef should be with the President-elect rather than “some online writers-cum-activists [who] have allowed their inflated hit-count and sense of importance to lead them beyond the boundaries of their individual skill-set.” The idea that people shouldn’t opine on whatever subject they want to, “qualified” or not, seems odd to me.
