I’m waiting for meta-media-critic Bill Wyman to explain how knowing this makes the world a better place. Or, failing that, for such a vociferous critic of the media’s vapidity and absurdity and the liberal blogosphere’s “intellectual dishonesty,” to get his nose out of John Edwards’s jock and write about politics in some other context.

For the record, as an early Edwards supporter I’m sympathetic to people who are pissed that he’d run with this big a skeleton in his closet; if he’d won, he could have put the party’s chances at risk during an important election. But the people who are wigging out about how big a deal this is–people like Bill Wyman–are part of the problem. Do you care who your bus driver sleeps with? Your boss? Your favorite blogger?
