Politics Kos Says He Regrets That “Bitch” Remark… Sort Of
On Saturday, down in Las Vegas, I Slogged about an interview I had with Markos Moulitsas, the founder of Daily Kos. During the interview Moulitsas went off on Maureen Dowd and her recent column about him, saying:
Maureen Dowd is an insecure, catty bitch.
That remark (quite catty in its own right) made its way around the blogosphere, landing in Slate on Monday and yesterday prompting this semi-retraction from Kos himself:
…And then there’s Dowd, whose snarky piece wasn’t just par for the course with her, but wasn’t really that bad all things considered. I snapped about it somewhere else and I sort of regret one of the three words I used. The other two I don’t — insecure and catty.
Thus ends the Kos-Dowd catfight, for now. Meanwhile, in the same post, Kos also recommends reading this article by a man whose writing (and lips) generated quite a bit of Slog discussion over the weekend, Ari Melber.
Markos is correct: Maureen Dowd IS an insecure, catty bitch. And so, of course, is Markos.
