Markos Moulitsas Zuñiga (Daily Kos) in good company



Markos Moulitsas Zuñiga, better known as Kos of the Daily Kos, is coming under increasing suspicion of engaging in a pay-for-play deal where, if Democratic political hacks hire his good buddy Jerome Armstrong, the political hack or his candidate gets Kudos from Kos. Moulitsas Zuñiga has now sent out an email to the not-so-super secret Townhouse Group saying,
My request to you guys is that you ignore this for now. It would make my life easier if we can confine the story.
Now, Moulitsas Zuñiga is beginning to take some heat, not only for the scabby business dealings with the Democrats, but also for his email instructions to his loyal adjuncts and sycophants. While it is not the purpose of this post to excuse the actions of Moulitsas Zuñiga and Armstrong Armstrong, I think it important to note that this request for discretion is not unprecedented.
