One small correction to an otherwise excellent article.
You imply that the outrage over the "Harman" blog post was based on Joe getting her vote wrong. It wasn't -- the anger was based on Klein's statement that ""Voting against [no strings Iraq funding] means you're in favor of a precipitous departure from Iraq." There were 45 really pissed off comments based on that statement before anyone noted that "Harman" had voted against the bill --and most of the comments related to Klein's error were mocking in tone. http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2007/05/the_iraq_vote.html
Which is why Klein's subsequent column, in which he claimed that the bile was directed at him because of his "innocent" mistake over Harman was just another example of how utterly dishonest Klein is.
