I just heard Markos Moulitsas talking about British politics on AAR.
On The Majority Report. It's really strange to hear British politics analysed on American talk radio.

4. I know, I've been enjoying his columns.
Must be the easiest money he's ever made. Just ditzy reflections on how our system is different to the USA. His insights into the race are asinine. But it's incredible hearing this discussed on American radio.

2. Ugh.
I read DailyKos every day, but while I appreciate it, as a political analyst Markos sucks. He's virtually always wrong.

He was sure we were going to sweep the '02 midterms.

He said the battle for the Dem nomination was over in November when Dean received the endorsement of SIEU and AFSCME (or whatever the two unions were).

He later said that the only two that had a chance of the nomination were Dean and maybe Clark.

His obvious dislike for John Kerry got pretty annoying at times.

He predicted Kerry would sweep the election 311-237.

He's been saying that election will lead to a "realignment" in the UK.

I'm not buying whatever he says about British politics.

3. Yes, he hasn't a clue.
But I value what he has to say.

5. No "analyst" has any clue as to what they are talking about
Just another reason why the news media has gone completely downhill over the past decade.
