See Kos for Clunkers: Grover Norquist Has More Media Clout Than Gore, Dean, and Jimmy Carter?

The media is so dramatically conservative in Washington, D.C. that Grover Norquist outranks former Democrat presidents, vice presidents, and presidential candidates in the booking order. So claimed the Daily Kos blogger known as "Dengre" in a post on "The bias we fight." Be amazed: 

And as we fight we need to know that we start every round of every battle at a disadvantage. If you are a liberal or a progressive you are always a dirty f***ing hippie --- always a weak-ass panda in this Bourgeois Town. And Conservatives are always the voice of power with access to any media outlet they wish to use. Grover Norquist can get on any show he wants to be booked on and he will always be treated as a serious player. Al Gore, Howard Dean or Jimmy Carter will never be given the respect that the inside-the-beltway crowd gives Norquist and the rest of his merry band of conservative think tank thieves. The gap is big.

Grover Norquist is a serious Washington insider, but let's not suggest that if he threw a huge anti-Gore concert to laugh at the hype over global warming, NBC would broadcast it for 75 hours. He also hasn't guest-hosted the Olbermann show like Howard Dean just did.

Don't miss the whole blog, as "Dengre" (an employee of the liberal group Green America) expresses his love for The Washington Post, but laments that the donkey and elephant sculptures they have outside the Post's downtown headquarters are painted in a conservatively biased fashion. The donkey has the "weak-ass pandas" painted on it, while the elephant has D.C. monuments. Even the sculptors are conservatives?
