I'm really very glad that I dropped off the entire radar to work on a presentation today when this whole stupid Sherrod thing hit.  I was reading my phone on the subway home after it was all mostly over and saw the entire stupid controversy unfold backwards on the blogs I had preloaded.

Andrew Breitbart needs better sources

Hate to break it to you Lunar but apparently the NAACP had access to the entire length of the tape and didn't even bother to review it before reading Sherrod the riot act. The NAACP are the ones that dropped the ball.

I have to agree and I would note that Fox commentators, like Beck, were supportive of Sherrod.

You, I would note, are lying.

Beck didn't; he was going off on another conspiracy theory (executive order assassinations) the day she got axed.  The next day, he came on and was supportive of Sherrod, saying the remark should be taken in context.  I was surprised.

According to the feed, Sharrod had already resigned when Fox started covering it.
