With respect to Mr Snow - I don't understand why a single exasperated throw-away diary should be considered more shameful to Americans than a predatory health care industry which is currently murdering thousands for profit, or a military establishment which makes lots of noise about 'supporting our troops' but refuses to equip them properly, and pays them so little that their families have to subsist on hand-outs and food stamps.

The US is drowning in horrors at the moment and there's no lack of things to feel ashamed of.

Luckily, dKos diaries are only very rarely among them.
