Have you heard of Joe Malchow? He has this terrific blog, here, where he’s urging other righty blogs to support Shelley Batts in the aforementioned contest.
Clearly, they think we’re crap because we’ve depthcharged their entire subaqueous house of waterproof cards. Otherwise, how could they possibly ignore us so assiduously?
– Dan – This sort of link snobishness seems to come and go over time, partly I think because there’s a sort of unspoken cherlishness about the high brow nature of some of Jeff’s wordcraft tome’s, of a decidedly “thinking” nature, coupled with the fact that Jeff, and some of us posters, make no secret that we’re “classic Liberals”/Liberal independents. We also take no prisoners when it comes to bone raw irreverance, tending to be equal opportunity blasphemers. I think that makes certain party’s uneasy, especially when they see terms of endearment like “bible-belt chrome bumper thumpers”, or “gunrack flyover swamp lurkers”, woven into some of our posts. It’s not Overt, more Covert, but it’s not really new. That, and the fact that Jeff doesn’t tend to jump on every whacko Conservative “blogger coalition” that comes down the pike. All of the above.
Indeed, I think you are correct… Though I can’t say as to really why….
Is it possible we’re being ignored? I somewhat doubt it.

Their aloofness knows constrainments.
Either that, or they don’t realise how cute Shelley is. One or the other.
The bums!
(Disclaimer: This is about the science, not the cute!)

BBh,
You’re probably right, but I like my explanation better.
Well, they apparently support the Kos by default.
And thank you Joe!
