Where’s The Outrage?
289 words.
I guess even bloggers have a hard time getting back into the swing of things after a 3-day weekend. The blogosphere seems to be working hard to manufacture outrage today.
My pick for today’s “worst persons in the world” has to go to Michelle Malkin. She’s taking a little time away from Jesse “Incredibly Dead Horse” McBeth to defend American war crimes. Yes, incredibly, today she is trying to defend the so-called Haditha massacre participants: Incident at Haditha, Pt. II. I know technically the reports aren’t finished yet, but come on… they’re totally guilty.
With Yearly Kos just around the corner, Malkin, along with her puppets at Hot Air, are ramping up the snarkiness. Like I always say, if you don’t have anything nice to say about someone, ridicule them until they cry. (I predict Malkin will be revealing a wingnut blogger convention, where Ted Tancredo and Pat Buchanan will be among the featured speakers, if Yearly Kos is even remotely successful.)
Speaking of Daily Kos, thankfully, mar-"I’m not a coward"-kos is blogging again full time, so we’ll only be subjected to fiction from georgia10 and SusanG on the weekends: Standing ovation.
Which naturally leads to this profile of georgia10 in the Chicago Reader. Some notable things jumped out at me: On her part in the dKos citizen revolution, georgia10 “tends to think of it as a dorky hobby.” ‘“I wish I could pay them,” [Daily Kos founder] Moulitsas says,’ referring to frontpage bloggers like georgia10. ’“Did she tell you if she was going to keep blogging [after graduating from school]?” Moulitsas asked me at a recent book reading. “I hope she does.”’ And of course, “the trait held in the highest regard in the lefty blogosphere is prodigiousness.”
