Slog - Comments on And Who Was That "Seattle Alt Weekly Reporter"? Ahem. http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/02/and_who_was_that_seattle_alt_weekly_repo Over at DailyKos, the big Kos himself has returned to the topic of his once having called Maureen Dowd a "catty, insecure bitch." I got in trouble during last year's YearlyKos when, exhausted and with my guard down, I told a Seattle alt weekly reporter that Maureen Dowd was a "catty, insecure bitch". I shouldn't have called her a "bitch", but she was catty and insecure while interviewing me... That alt-weekly reporter would be me. And, for the record, even though Maureen Dowd and Kos apparently exchanged emails after that comment, I appear to have been frozen out — frozen...

Next thing you know we'll find they lied to us about Iraq and Iran and (next) Ireland.

You've been throwing so many bouquets at yourself lately. Wondering if you dislocated it...

If you hit the wrong account (i.e., the one he advertises) or he doesn't remember you, he won't respond. Thousands of emails will do that to a guy. Sheesh, get some thick skin.

Kos became a catty, insecure bitch shortly after that convention. Anyone who reads DailyKos pre-2004 and now can spot the difference. His posts and the tone of the board are now much more negative, bitchy, and catty. It's too bad, in the Dean days he was on the right track, but now is fast becoming just like the snotty insider he claims to hate in DC.

They remind me of the people I hated in high school.

You sound like a stalker instead of a grown-ass man.

Having personally received his attacks (lots of "I am REALLY INFLUENTIAL!!!" and "I WENT TO LAW SCHOOL, DAMMIT!!!") chewed him down, in my mind, to the kind of spoiled, D-list celebrities who don't get let into clubs and scream about "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!". He's bullshit, Eli, and you're just feeding a troll.

I think he is just too busy getting off from his cocktail party-msm fight that he cant give time to an alt weekly reporter. People powered what?

Nobody cares.

BORING. The headlines might be interesting, but the blog comments look like they were written by 12-year olds (are they?). I read Slog, not necessarily because The Stranger's writing staff is so original or brilliant, but because the posts' comments are very articulate and interesting, compared with the Daily Kos crap.
