Most excellent! Congrats to Digby! I'll go over to her site and congratulate her there, too.

She deserves a column in a big paper.

Who is she?

While a woman gets deserved praise, here at the top of the page is the torso of a scantily clad young lady with the evocation that thinness is the only way to be. We don't see her face because she isn't a person, she is an object.

The bills must be paid and pictures of John McCain may raise sales of high blood pressure medicine (a least to the faithful herein), but it would be hard to track.

Where? I don't see it.

Too late.

Digby rules. She should be moderating debates on national telly.

Good For Digby- women bloggers have been dropping like flies....so good...she is a sharp articulate woman...and she and Rachel Maddow should host their own show...wouldn't that be something?

She's a really good blogger to whom Amato has linked hundreds of times.

I do not know you Digby, but enjoy your writings and insightful views. Congratulations for a well-deserved recognition.

I also didn't know Digby was a woman until a few weeks ago. Other places it's pretty obvious (before reading the columnists/bloggers name). That's not to say I think she writes like man, just that the personal "voice" doesn't get between the reader and the message unlike, say, Dowd.

Go Digby! Well done.
