Kos Klaims Mainstream Mantle, Ford Fawns

Sun, Aug 12, 2007 at 8:29:16 am PDT

The supreme egotist Markos “Screw Them” Moulitsas appeared on Meet The Press today with DLC chairman Harold Ford, denying and backpedaling furiously away from the hateful, ugly content on his site, and crowing about becoming the new Democratic “mainstream.” Of course, he’s being given a complete pass for his obscene, barely literate writing, and his track record of almost uninterrupted political failure.

It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion, as the Democrats let their agenda be determined by spoiled, mean-spirited children. The damage from pandering to this lowest of the lowest common denominator will be felt for years.

UPDATE at 8/12/07 8:59:06 am:

Harold Ford had one short, vestigial moment of tepid courage, mentioning the antisemitic diaries at Daily Kos and quickly backing down. Allahpundit has a clip: “In all fairness, your site has posted awful things”.
