Ah it seems that our liberal bloggers/commentators live in glass houses.

Who woulda' thought it.

------
The partisan Democratic political bloggers who were hired by the Dean campaign were Jerome Armstrong, who publishes the blog MyDD, and Markos Zuniga, who publishes DailyKos. DailyKos is the ninth most linked blog on the Internet, according to Technorati, a measurement service, and in October, at the height of the presidential campaign, it received as many as one million daily visits.

The two men, who jointly operated a small political consulting firm, said they didn't believe the Dean campaign had been trying to buy their influence. Both men noted that they had promoted Mr. Dean's campaign long before they were hired and continued to do so after their contract with the campaign ended.

Mr. Zuniga said they were paid $3,000 a month for four months and he noted that he had posted a disclosure near the top of his daily blog that he worked for the Dean campaign doing "technical consulting." Mr. Armstrong said he shut down his site when he went to work for the campaign, then resumed posting after his contract ended.

Reminicent of another Armstrong in the news.

Differences:


Kos and Jerome Armstrong disclosed that they were working for the Dean campaign. Jerome didn't even blog the whole time he was campaigning.

Kos and Jerome Armstrong were paid out of Dean's campaign finance pockets, they were not payed with taxpayer money.


Contrast that with Armstrong Williams who was paid by the Federal government, taxpayer money to promote policies of the Federal Government and never disclosed he was on the take.


I would say nice try, but if this is the best response the Cons can come up with to counter the Armstrong Williams mess, they are clearly in dire straits.

Thanks for trying.
