Snead, meet the President

SC blogger Snead- whom we admire extravagantly- scored the hat trick today. He got a question about vets' affairs in front of- and answered by- the President of the United States.

A vet himself, he just asked a pertinent, timely question.

It puts to shame the self-aggrandizing, posturing, "enough about me, what do you think about me" and hit-generating boob shots- among the daily offerings at South Carolina Is So Gay and Anaconda. Not to mention the breast-beating-in-the Temple and and the sanctimony of Savonarola.

Snead has set the gold standard for blog influence in South Carolina. From here on the yardstick asks, "How have you moved the debate about anything forward where it counts?"
