Phaedrus Battles Press Sockpuppets

Looks like our colleague Phaedrus is taking on Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary and assortment of the Gookin & Co. sockpuppets at the Press site. Here he responds to a slap by Mary at Councilman Mike Kennedy's family: "Mary, Mary, Mary, there you go again! I watched last night's proceedings and witnessed Mr. Kennedy make a very clear and full disclosure, for you to imply in your signature, underhanded and rumor-mongering way that he did anything less is despicable and all too typical of your style. Second, I think you have set a new low in unethical behavior (even going lower than David Letterman's treatment of Sarah Palin's daughter) by mentioning Mr. Kennedy's wife and family. It is one thing to disagree with one of your elected officials, it is quite another vile and disgusting tactic to invoke their family in your attack." You can read the whole thread here.
