Somewhere Markos got the idea that he and a small list of "contributing editors" or whatever these posers are called are the only ones authorized to officially speak on behalf of DailyKos. No offense Markos, but try drinking coffee instead of antifreeze in the morning. As I will demonstrate below, I’m the only member here qualified to speak on behalf of our great community.
Flip it.
Ok, so my only recommended diary was last year when I reported Cindy Sheehan had been arrested in Union Square, Manhattan and ended up being completely wrong. Hey, I didn’t go to journalism school, what do you want from me?!
That doesn’t stop me from introducing myself at various events as the Official Spokesman Extraordinaire for the Great Orange Mothership DailyKos And Every Member Therein. So, since my title is official, I thought I’d share with everyone four times in the past where I've made representations on behalf of Markos, the Editors, and everyone else who has ever put www.dailykos.com in their URL field....

Here is a picture of me last July officially representing our online community at the rally for losing Mexican presidential candidate Manuel Lopez Obrador who claimed he lost the election due to fraud.
See me? I’m the guy holding the Mexican flag. Down with Felipe Calderon! No need to thank me.

This is me conducting a one-man Instant Message sting to take down the Republican leadership in the past election.

Here is a picture of me giving one of my famous "Special Comments" during an appearance on MSNBC. Invitations from major corporate media outlets have been pouring into my inbox since I was named DailyKos spokesman.
And, to demonstrate my brilliance, below is an excerpt from one of my special comments, wherein I school the Presidnent on his ignorance of the Vietnam War:
Finally, in Vietnam, we learned the lesson. We stopped endlessly squandering lives and treasure and the focus of a nation on an impossible and irrelevant dream, but you are still doing exactly that, tonight, in Iraq.
And these lessons from Vietnam, Mr. Bush, these priceless, transparent lessons, writ large as if across the very sky, are still a mystery to you.
"We’ll succeed unless we quit."
No, sir.
We will succeed against terrorism, for our country’s needs, toward binding up the nation’s wounds when you quit, quit the monumental lie that is our presence in Iraq.
And in the interim, Mr. Bush, an American kid will be killed there, probably tonight or tomorrow.
And here, sir, endeth the lesson.
Damn I’m smart. The photo has been altered to protect my anonymity and in no way suggests that I am not being 100% truthful.

Here’s a comment I made while drunk. It is in response to the suggestion that we boycott George Lucas.
Done and done... (5+ / 0-)
Boycott any movie using George Lucas' ILM special effects shop.
I boycotted them after Lucas made Guido shoot first. HAN SOLO SHOT FIRST!

Yes, as is pointed out later in the string, the character’s name is Greedo. Small detail. Nonetheless, I highlight this comment to show my supreme ability to engage in political conversation after an evening at Off The Wagon on McDougal Street during College Girls Night. Yes, in case you were wondering, posting here that night is indicative of my success that evening.

There you have it. I’d like to thank everyone for supporting me in me appointing me as your spokesman. Markos, when can I expect my cut of ad revenue? I prefer certified check.
[UPDATE:] I expect John Carroll to acknowledge my official title here at DailyKos when he once again appears on "Beat the Press." He clearly has his fingers on the pulse of the blogosphere.
