How could I be anti-Catholic? I voted for Kerry!

The New York Times has now picked up the Edwards blogger flap story.  Not suprisingly, the paper quotes the less offensive comments made by the bloggers about Catholics and plays up the easy William Donohue angle, leaving the impression that this may be a conservative overreaction.  A single quote from Eduardo could have brought some helpful nuance to the analysis.  And speaking of howlers, check out this evidence of a true Catholic-loving vibe:

In a brief note on her personal blog on Wednesday, Ms. McEwan [one of the Edwards bloggers] said that in the 2004 presidential election she had voted for Senator John Kerry, the Massachusetts Democrat who is a Roman Catholic, which she said was evidence that she was not anti-Catholic.
