I've been too busy these last few days to post any comments in the various discussions about Kos' wealth and Un-Republican attitude about money - you know, if you have money you have to be a Republican. This isn't a surprise to me. I was used as an example of how us Kossacks are deluded fools who Kos is screwing over.
Yes, sweet-faced Kos is a monster. According to the folks at Donkey Cons (do I have to link to it?) he's making over $800,000 a year. What a fiend that Kos is! So, how am I involved with all of Kos' ill-gotten gains? I am one of the poor dupes who is not getting a cut of all that filthy lucre. Yeah, they had to pick me out of the crowd. Me, who rarely posts, but wrote one recommended diary from a little event in Vegas called YearlyKos:
Remember when I posted about "Erin in Flagstaff," one of the ultimate losers who attended YearlyKos? Some people thought I was being mean-spirited. But what share of the $832,000 revenue stream does Erin get at her blog? Hmmm?
WTF??? more...
Erin describes herself as "Kos-addicted ... working hard for the Democratic Party and the DFA."
Great for you, Erin. What do you get paid by Democrats and DFA? How much of that $832,000 annual ad revenue stream does Kos pocket after paying his (tax-deductible) expenses?
Can I say that I still don't understand what these idiots are going on about? Kos is supposed to pay me? Huh? I'll allow them to make fun of me and my rare exuberant diaries - I can handle the label of ultimate loser, but why do these yahoos think that Kos should support my blog? I mean, I'll be happy to take any spare change, Kos, but I don't see how posts about what DVD I'm watching tonight (it's a documentary about Kurosawa, by the way) have anything to do with your blogad revenue!
We finally see this whole money issue on the RNC site, but it's not new. I bet there are more blog posts about Kos and his money out there, but this did not just happen today. If you'll look at the date of the post from Donkey Cons you'll see that it was written June 29th. Why the end of June? What happened that month? Yep, YearlyKos.
That wild weekend in Vegas called YearlyKos scared the shit out of these guys and they started tearing into all things Kos.
Of course, it is fun to see the post from July 6 about how little money Markos donates to the candidates. Uh-huh. How much money has all the Kos fundraising netted for candidates from us Kossacks? By the way, that picture of Kos and Jerome Armstrong as mullahs is oh so hilarious.
So, what have we learned ?
YearlyKos shook things up.
1. They did some math and discovered that a pro-Democratic site (which means liberal to these twits) makes LOTS of money. The horror!
2. Kos is selfish and won't support me and my personal blog.
3. I'm screwed. What else is new?
Your turn - how screwed are you?
