Top 5 Things I Didn’t Know (or care) About Markos

After reading Ana Marie Cox’s (Time/Wonkette) puff piece on Markos “Screw ‘Em” Moulitsas, here are the top 5 things I didn’t know.

1. Since backing Ned Lamentos’ successful primary effort against Joe Lieberman, Markos considers himself to be the Netroots King-Maker. This after his personally endorsed candidates had previously gone a combined 0 – 16. [Note to Wonkette and The King: Primary wins are one thing, but if Lieberman wins the General Election, that makes you a combined 0 - 17 in elections that matter.]

And, this was priceless:

The day after Lamont’s win, Moulitsas came to lunch in a Lamont T-shirt. But he fumbled when a woman walked over to our table, pointed at his shirt, and said, “Can you tell me anything about that guy other than he’s antiwar?” He couldn’t.

2. Markos pulls down about $600,000/year from Daily Kos

3. He plans on stopping his blogging duties at Kos next year.

4. His next idea? To build leftist “cultural outposts” all across the midwest. … “a chain of giant meeting places “replicating megachurches for the left” – complete with cafés and child care.”

5. He’s short, really short.

  1. Heh. How about combination childcare/abortion clinics? And if they’re going to do the megachurches thing, I suggest Al Gore be brought in to preach his global warming gospel.

  2. No doubt. It is the most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard about.
    Too bad, the muslims are going to beat them to it. But, they will probably be formally allied with them by then.

  3. $600,000 per year for that dreck? Gah! Steve at Hog on Ice was right; there’s more money to be made from the liberal side.

  4. well, that’s before taxes and expenses. He probably only nets about half that.
    Poor guy.
