Markos Meets Bush's Twisted Brain

I don't know if the icon of DailyKos has ever physically met the so-called "evil genius" Karl Rove, but they are about to go head-on in the pages of Newsweek. The magazine wanted two differing points of view and personality and they got it with these two national figures. Rove has been around since the Nixon years, wreaking havoc with his dirty tricks since he was the President of the College Republicans. Markos is a whole other animal entirely.

An ex-Republican who actually served in the military, Markos realized where our country was headed years ago. After being sick and tired of yelling at his non-compliant television screen, he started DailyKos so he could yell at the internet. Well the internet gave him a response and it helped to start a Netroots revolution.

Besides being political icons, there is no comparing the two soon-to-be Newsweek contributors. Rove will be lying for the right, while Markos helps speak truth to power. All you need to do is look at each's history and it is easy to see what you are going to get from them. So to all that read Newsweek, keep your eyes open for the commentary and watch how one will spin, play dirty and lie as he has for over thirty years and the other that speaks from the heart with all the facts you could ever want.
