Philadelphia.com, the online version of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has a column, "Can liberal bloggers and Democrats get along?"
The Democratic players back in Washington think these bloggers have way too much attitude; they recall what happened when one of their own, strategist Steve Elmendorf, told a reporter that Democratic candidates should not become "captive of the activist left." For that, Moulitsas called Elmendorf a "sleazebag," threatened to wreck his business, and triggered a flamewar against the guy. This is why, today, the D.C. insiders will only voice their concerns about the bloggers in exchange for anonymity.
Washington. Twelve square miles surrounded by reality.
