Out With The In Crowd

I'm pleased to report this blog has no pull with Beltway Insiders. Because I've seen those jackasses, and you couldn't pay me enough to pull them.

Washingtonian magazine, a specialist publication dealing in real-estate pornography, has listed the winners in an "informal poll" of the the favorite blogs of D.C. journalists. Not surprisingly, several lunatic right blogs are listed among the media elite's faves, including Instacracker, Kausfiles, Powerline, Mister Ed and Little Green Bigots. The mag also lists Free Republic as a blog which discusses "pudgy-people prejudice." (No doubt they're against it.)

So much for the myth of the liberal media.

The article's author, Harry Jaffe, displays his own biases, calling the Instacracker "eclectic" and Midget Mick an "iconoclast," while labeling Atrios "potty-mouthed" and TAPped a Dean apologist. He also appears to believe that Amnesty International has called for the arrest of Bush and Rummy.

I guess when your bread-and-butter is sucking up to the wealthy, you write what Republicans want to hear. Everybody's doing it, why not you too, Harry?

Update: I'm not on Alan Colmes' favorites list either. I guess Alan's a one-Roger man.
