Edited on Thu May-29-08 09:58 PM by JackBeck

If she doesn't, we will then know her true MO.

My first glance of the list may have been with lavender blinders on. I also noticed that towleroad is also listed. Americablog is a given.

38. Actually, I've come up with a plan of action

We're gonna send JeffR to the convention as your floor manager. You, Kurvoski, and fellow supporters will wait in a hotel room and drink beer while we shout instructions to JeffR over a speakerphone. But mostly he will bribe all of the delegates with DUzy awards. Then once you get 2026 delegates, I'm sure they will invite you guys to the convention to give your acceptance speeches.

48. The right-wing Politico cesspool-Glenn Greenwald

Politico reporter Mike Allen, formerly of The Washington Post and Time, appeared yesterday on the show of right-wing radio host Mike Gallagher. The two of them guffawed together at how absurd are Scott McCellan's claims that the media was "deferential" to the Bush administration and then Allen said this:

ALLEN: And indeed, Scott does adopt the vocabulary, rhetoric of the left wing haters. Can you believe it in here he says the White House press corps was too deferential to the administration?

Think Progress has the audio, which makes even clearer how eager Mike Allen was "to adopt the vocabulary, rhetoric" of the right-wing operatives which Politico exists to serve. Actually, not even Karl Rove -- who gave Allen and comrades their marching orders earlier this week when he said during an interview with Sean Hannity that McClellan "sounds like a left-wing blogger" -- goes so far as to refer to those critical of the media's war coverage as "left wing haters." But Politico "reporter" Mike Allen does.

Mike Gallagher
I think we should round up all of these folks. Round up Joy Behar. Round up Matt Damon, who last night on MSNBC attacked George Bush and Dick Cheney. Round up Olbermann. Take the whole bunch of them and put them in a detention camp until this war is over because they're a bunch of traitors.

Allen and Gallagher can't stand those left wing haters.
