Bitch Smack the Kos

Bitchlab took Markos Moulitsas Zúniga (aka Kos) to task for constantly acting like he's riding on the back of the bus. Kos makes $480,000-a-year. He can buy a pimp mobile with that money. Kos also isn't a champion of women progressives. Let's cue some nuggets from the Kos archives.

Kos on abortion.

Problem is, abortion and choice aren't core principles of the Democratic Party. Rather, things like a Right to Privacy are. And from a Right to Privacy certain things flow -- abortion rights, access to contraceptives, opposition to the Patriot Act, and freedom to worship the gods of our own choosing, or none at all.

Kos on the complaints of women readers from a T&A blogad called "Pie Fight".

And I certainly won't let the sanctimonious women's studies set play that role on this site. Feel free to be offended. Feel free to claim that I'm somehow abandoning "progressive principles" by running the ad. It's a free country. Feel free to storm off in a huff. Other deserving bloggers could use the patronage.

Me, I'll focus on the important shit.

I anxiously look forward to Zúniga's thoughts on women's suffrage.

Update: I crossposted this entry at Loaded Mouth. Bitchlab and Taz make corrections on what Kos makes. Taz runs Blogad on Loaded Mouth. He points out that Blogads takes 30% of the top. Bitchlab actually thinks Kos is doing well, but not rich. Taz thinks Kos is rich, but the numbers are wrong. Both factor in site costs. Kos should probably buy his own server. Jaxon at Milk and Cookies owns his own server and the Google ads pay for the site. Jaxon could probably make good money if he ran Blogads.
