Markos Moulitsas on Meet the Press- A star is born
I have been an avid reader of Daily Kos for quite a while, but I had never seen Markos on TV. I just downloaded his performance from www.dailykos.com. He is incredibly articulate, funny and intelligent on camera as opposed to the staid, fearful and cautious talking heads who usually represent progressve ideas on TV. He is going to be in demand as someone who knows what is going on in the blogosphere. Rock on Markos!!!

4. Big DKOS Fan Here
Thanks for posting. I visit his site and DU daily. It didn't air in Indianapolis today of all days. Some big sports event I think was on.

5. I haven't seen his MTP thing yet but
I saw Colbert interview him. He was *fine*. I wish him the best and hope he just keeps bulling ahead.

7. He's gotten better over time.
His first few TV appearances were rather awkward.

And even though I don't agree with a lot of what he says by a long shot, he is part of the solution, and he was great on MTP.

8. He was great!
Stated what he needed to with such intelligence. He articulated his point of view that all could understand. No hemming and hawing, just pure honesty and conviction.
