It's generally accepted that altering content post-publication is a no-no, and doing it while posing as the author takes the biscuit. But imagine if you were free to edit the work of one blogger. Who would it be, and what would you make them say?
I wouldn't edit anyone's writing exactly. However, I would like to put the following disclaimer before every one of Polly's articles...
Polly Toynbee has been shown to make up statistics or deliberately twist information left, right and centre to suit her own agenda: please see Factchecking Pollyanna for eight months-worth of examples.
Please also note that Polly Toynbee earns well over £100,000 per year from The Grauniad alone, owns a house in Tuscany and sent her children to private school.
You may wish to bear this duplicity and hypocrisy in mind when reading her articles.
After that, Polly could write whatever she liked and I wouldn't edit it...

Cant top that!
I'd edit Jackart so he'd stop talking so much shite.
Please can I have a go at that childish cunt Ireland and his endless, pious, hysterical shreiking.
Re Polly; could the whole statement not be condensed to the following - Polly is a typical well-heeled, hypocritical, socialist.
Re Re Polly; that condensed statement could be condensed: Polly is a socialist.
If I could edit blogs I would edit this one and change all the "cunts" to "blighter" or "rotter" and all the "fucks" to "bleep". It might be funny and ironic for a minute or two.
I'll get me coat.
I just turn on track changes... ;-)
Something to warm your cockles:

Giles Coren tears Polly a new one and greatly enjoys doing so.
Gah, Mr E beats me again...
