I still don't get the whole "corruption" angle.  If everything that is being said is true, its not like you've taken an oath or anything.  Kaus is even talking about "quid pro quo" between Kos and Jerome Armstrong because Jerome Armstrong has "access".  Um, hello. . .Kos is a blogger, not an elected official.  Even if guys are walking up to Kos with suitcases of sweaty $20 bills, he can take the cash and its not illegal if he reports the cash as income.

Here's an idea for the netroots and all this "corruption" stupidity, the next time some reporter threatens to make you look corrupt, you remind him that the First Amendment doesn't protect against slander.  Maybe this is my inner litigator talking (slow day at work), but I'd really like to see some bastard like David Brooks get nailed for defamation.
