One thing I've never thought of Kos (the guy, not the site) as being was gullible. When I first saw the diary linking to HuffPo, I giggled - they took a statement about what options Barack Obama opted against in favor of doing community organizing - which included "trial lawyer" - and turned it into an right-wing assault on trial lawyers generally and John Edwards specifically. I giggled - I didn't expect that diary to get rec'd up, and it didn't.
Then, I saw the front page about 30 minutes later, with a Kos by-line, with the only difference being a link to a WaPo article.

So, can anybody find that? And if not, isn't someone owed an apology?
