The Daily Kos's first Newsweek column dropped this week, and it's about as predictable as you might expect. Kos urges the Democrats to campaign solely on Bush's record in 2008 - a year in which Bush will not be on the ballot and all of the possible Republican presidential candidates are significantly different from the 43rd president. What really made me laugh, though, was Kos's bio. Here it is:
Moulitsas, a Newsweek contributor, is the publisher of dailykos.com, a progressive Web site that generally supports Democratic candidates.
"Generally supports" Democrats? Now there's an understatement. I suppose it's technically accurate, as Kos does go after the occasional Democrat who believes the other side may have an idea worth contemplating on the merits. But maybe it would be more accurate for Newsweek to say that the Daily Kos is a website that "supports whoever really, really hates George W. Bush."
