    Their Empire is crumbling

    These Royal Elites are running scared. They see us peons, led by influential bloggers, as nothing more than crazed dirt farmers attacking their Paper Castles with torches and pitchforks.

    They simply can't understand why we are (according to them) frothing like rabid dogs while they clink champagne glasses and plan retreats to the Hamptons or elsewhere to watch the aspens turn.

    In a few years Cohen, Klein, Hiatt and the rest of the Court Jesters will be intersting relics for study and ridicule.

    The future IS the blogosphere. The Future is Greenwald and Kos and Eschaton and Media Matters.

    These Grand Shriveled Old Men are cornered rats and they know it.
