Despite trying deperately to find a link to the audio from the meeting, for my own blogging purposes, I can't find it. BTW, I appreciate your coverage of YK, and the BTR interview with Ed Morrissey of Captain's Quarters, but in my opinion not enough attention has been paid to the Middle East Panel led by the discredited Mearsheimer.

Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. His father (Moulitsas) is Greek, mother (Zuniga) from South America. In latin fashion he lists both. Thank you for your thoughtful remarks about YKos. I wish you would revisit your analysis about Sgt. Aguina's mental well-being. Most of the comments made in that regard on DKos have been out of sincere concern. Many Kossacks have respectfully questioned the Sgt's behavior and choices. Very few have called him a nutcase or anything like that. His surname is Moulitsas. Markos Moulitsas Zuniga.

'We are the middle' has no meaning when you examine the chasm between the two sides. Just as shifting wealth is erasing the notion of a 'middle class', so too, the divisive exacerbations of polemics takes the equator off the map of North/South, East/West will never meet. “Cleanse” may not be the correct phrase, but based upon the loose bowels of the Senate and House Dems caving to “The Fear” of threats about their desire to protect the nation, it seems appropriate.

The phrase Zuniga actually used was “cleaning the Democratic Party out.” I regret the inaccuracy of the quote and the fact that this mistake was compounded by the negative connotations of the word “cleanse” which escaped my notice in my haste to write the piece. I apologzie for the error and any aspersions cast on Mr. Zuniga.
