At our weekly taping on Friday, Patricia Murphy, Ria Misra, Emily Miller, Bonnie Erbe' and I talked about the politicizing of the ongoing tragedy in Haiti; is there no situation beyond the grip of the exhausted (and exhausting) red-versus-blue treatment?
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
