This surpised me

Via a google search i ended up on a site called Sullywatch and found this:

We see from Sitemeter that none other than Joe Conason has linked to us from Salon, generating over a thousand hits. Wow

A big hitter like Conason at a high profile outlet like Salon generated over a thousand hits.

Heck, when USS Clueless tacked an update onto an existing essay and included a link here i got 850 hits from it.
