Shoe Bomber vs. Shoe Thrower: How the Liberal Blogs Stack Up

It's Part One of our stunning, end-of-year wrap-up! Try and contain your excitement as we compare how various liberal progressive blogs covered two different Shoe Stories.

In this case, for each progressive blog, we'll contrast the number of posts mentioning a shoe-throwing journalist versus those mentioning a foiled terrorist attack that nearly killed hundreds of innocents: Richard Reid, the shoe bomber.

Let's play, shall we?

"Progressive" Blog	"Richard Reid" shoe bomber	Iraqi journalist threw shoes Bush
Andrew Sullivan	2	52
Brad Blog	2	1,850
Crooks and Liars	6	341
Daily Kos	105	12,600
FireDogLake	7	218
Jesus' General	1	48
Sadly, No	3	32
Talking Points Memo	30	452
Taylor Marsh	1	118
ThinkProgress	93	395
Truthdig	3	162
Wonkette	1	65

I'm figuring the ratio of these columns is as good a measure of a blog's level of Bush Derangement Syndrome that modern science can offer us.
