The Kos Kerfuffle

Once again, James Lileks has the apt summation:

Americans strung up and burned. Big-time blogger says �screw them.� Blogger suffers blowback, just as a mainstream columnist would suffer if he wrote that it was time to nuke Mecca or pave Fallujah. And there are consequences? Welcome to the real world.

I didn't notice anybody feeling sorry for Trent Lott, especially on the site that describes itself as 'political analysis and other daily rants on the state of the nation.' Sounds kind of like hype when the political analysis consists of "Screw them," but then, that's probably the source of Kos' popularity.
