Selective amnesia? "In a previous Star Tribune interview, Wardlow said he did some writing for a blog but couldn't remember when or which one."

Strib, here. If one did that much online publishing early in his first job, and cannot remember, there is a disconnect.

That it was highly partisan is only window dressing. The window itself is transparent, it is the statement of not remembering.

That his brother was a Marine helicopter pilot in Iraq at the time and had a brush with death, and he posted about his brother, unremembered as unremarkable? Wow. A mind that learned Mandarin Chinese, failing in memory.
