Donald Trump Blows Blogging Debut

Donald Trump's debut as a blogger has landed in the blogosphere with a resounding thud.

Blogger Ike Pigott sent a comment to Trump's blog. All comments on the Donald's blog are moderated. Nothing unusual about that.

But here's how the comment appeared:
"Mr. Trump, welcome to the world of blogging. I'm sure you'll find this forum an excellent model for feedback."

Gimme a break!
You don't want to run a comment, don't run it, but don't freaking edit a critical comment into an endorsement. Puh-lese.

Donald the Blogger: You're fired. And your trackbacks don't work either!
