Kostastic Quote of the Day

You know, this is actaully the first thing I've heard about Kos that I actually like. I mean who doesn't love a cold blooded, understated threat? Why, it almost reminds me of something Dick Cheney or Karl Rove would come up with!

I guess there's a little neo-con/Jew in all of us, even Kos. -- Drew

Yep. Despite all of our differences, we all have the taint of that scheming, cunning Juan-Cole-thwarting Jew-blood in us.

Satan put it there. Or maybe Richard Perle. Tomatoes, tahmahtoes.

Ich Will Folgen Sichen, Mein Kosfurher Update: Pardon the atrocious, badly remembered German.

An emailer says he tried to post the Slate link about the Kosmerta (the Kos oath of silence) over at insane Jane Hamsher's place, and it was deleted within five minutes.

When Kos says "Jump!," the "independent, maverick" Jane Hamsher says "How high? And should I wash your feet thereafter?"

They know who signs their checks, don't they?

Instapundit, as big as he is, doesn't have this kind of power (and of course wouldn't exercise it if he did, unless it was about his sexual fetish for teeny-tiny nanowomen). The power on the right side of the blogosphere is kinda diffused; there are really big blogs, but a bunch of them. Kind of like capitalism, where there are numerous independent power bases competing with the one big power base (the government).

Remember the truly nasty spats on the right about Harriet Miers between Hugh Hewitt and, well, almost everyone else?

But over in Kosland, it's as you would expect it: there's one big centralized power center, and everyone beneath it snaps to smartly. They know there's only one way to advance within the party.

Jeff Goldstein has some thoughts on the lefty nutroots. It holds itself out as "bottom-up" activism, but it's very much top-down.

At least I think that's what he's saying. I tuned out after the third reference to "reifying the paraliminal."
