From a post at Lee Siegel on Culture
At the end of my post yesterday, I wrote, “The blogosphere’s fanaticism is, in many ways, the triumph of a lack of focus.”

All these abusive attempts to autocratically or dictatorially...

There’s controversy growing about a leaked email from Kos to a squadron of top-ranked leftwing bloggers. In short, we find suggestions of impropriety in practice, as there may have been some “backroom” dealings, a Tammany Hall-style ...

Or is it just the same influence that prevents conservative blogs from covering Ron Suskind�s new book?

You mean the one in which he made this bonehead mistake?

In a new book, author Ron Suskind claims British Intelligence knew the U.S. was monitoring Mohammed Siddique Khan for his ties to a Virginia jihadist � and that he'd been banned from the country in 2003 for planning to attack U.S. synagogues.

Trouble is, the London Telegraph reports that the British Khan with Virginia connections who was placed on the U.S. no-fly list was not Mohammed Siddique Khan, who was teaching at a Yorkshire elementary school, but Mohammed Ajmal Khan, who's now serving 9 years in a British prison.

While it is not the purpose of this post to excuse the actions of Moulitsas Zuñiga and Armstrong Armstrong, I think it important to note that this request for discretion is not unprecedented....

The Blogfather makes the Moonbat Mafiosi an offer they can't refuse. ... Will AllahPundit sleep with the fishes? Other "wingnut bloggers" daring to defy La Blogga Nostra's code of omerta on Ko$ola/JeromeGate ......

I stand partially corrected--Time naturally didn't lead with the portions embarrassing to the White House.

But the book came out yesterday. I'm 30 pages into it. Same pluses and minuses as Woodward's books--stenography, not journalism. Suskind's not writing a history, alas. But if his sources are accurate, which will take some cross-checking, then it's quite a book.

In related news, the PBS website for that Dark Side feature on Cheney is just teeming with interesting interviews on the CIA, al Qaeda, etc. Guaranteed to absorb an hour of your time, you who care about such things. Site says the show itself will be viewable online come Thursday night.

When it comes down to it, Kos and the Moonbat left don't like to "Speak truth to power", especially when it's an Inconvenient Truth and the power is the gravy-train of their blogosphere empire....

And to think I nearly forgot about that sorry episode!

I'll bet Sean-Paul has been Biden his time hoping that would happen.

Funniest damn thing I have read in a while. And to think I nearly forgot about that sorry episode!
