Well, well, well, we're getting noticed big time. I guess we're cutting too close to the bone, and it's starting to hurt the establishment.
Jonathan Gurowitz, a winger columnist for the lean-right San Antonio Express and News is all foamed up over our language.
My, my, my.
Jonathan writes that we are children. Disgusting little children who are ill-mannered, and deserve to be spanked and to have our mouths washed out.
School's out for summer, and all the wayward children who received detention for shooting spit wads and carving naughty words into their desks are evidently attending the Kos Camp for Splenetic Activism.

Unfortunately for the people who take their politics seriously, Moulitsas himself and many of his paste-eating charges at Camp Kos seem more committed to acts of adolescent political vandalism, as the title of his book implies, than to the intellectual maturity of political leadership.
But what really upsets Jonathan is that we took on his darling Henry Cuellar back in March, and forced him to earn his keep, and that we called Jonathan on his foolishness when he attacked us for taking on Henry.
The Kos kids and their counselor got all worked up recently about a column in which I criticized their penchant for savaging Democrats who stray from their ideological agenda, their intolerance for dissent and their bullying tactics.
It's ironic that Jonathan's column defended Cuellar on the day when the SCOTUS issued its opinion dooming Cuellar's continued residence in DC. And then, of course, he takes a heaping handful of slime and rubs Kos' face in it, doing to Kos exactly what he accuses us of doing to Cuellar.
But what really set Moulitsas' marshmallow aflame, I suspect, was an affront to his vanity.

Sorry to disappoint, but no one should expect followers of a profanity-spewing pied piper not to be nasty. Moulitsas, who is currently venting his rage at liberal journalists who refuse to keep silent about pay-for-play political allegations against him and Armstrong, makes Ann Coulter seem downright charming by comparison.
I've gotta say, this is great publicity. Those of us liberals and free-ranging thinkers in South Texas know Jonathan for what he is. His column will only continue to bring throngs of South Texans over to this site. Welcome aboard, and thank you Jonathan for helping our net-roots sink deeper, and deeper, into Texas' alkaline soil.
