...field (that would be 2 less than they started with, if you're keeping score) after Pablo Mastroeni and Eddie Pope were thrown out of the game for rough tackles. The Americans were thus forced to play a man short - Italy's Daniele DeRossi got the gate earlier for trying to rearrange Brian McBride's face with his elbow. McBride looked like a hockey player who took a stick in the mush, but he soldiered on as the U.S. played desperately to preserve the precious point that kept their hopes alive...
...Warner was the first Presidential hopeful to commit to coming to Yearly Kos. Jerome Armstrong, the co-author of "Crashing the Gate" with Yearly Kos namesake Markos Moulitsas, is the governor's Internet consultant and unofficial blogger liaison. Clearly, the Warner campaign has great hopes for leveraging what convention-goers call "the netroots." Yet to judge by Warner's actual speech, the netroots are just another constituency, a Democratic special-interest group to be placated by a campaign promise or two. Aside from a warm-up that referenced the night's festivities, Warner delivered his time-tested stump speech...
...even recognized filmmaking as a legitimate industry. Armed with just good wishes and some telegrams from family and friends, we spent a riotous few days in the luxury of the Beverly Wilshire, being taken to lunch by Billy Wilder, joking with Pedro Almodóvar and his transgendered entourage, gate-crashing Spanish and Danish parties, not really minding that we were neglected by our own country.

Many of Moulitsas? colleagues in the blog world wonder if Moulitsas isn?t a member of that club himself. He claims to have used the site to funnel over $1 million to Democratic candidates across the country and is enough of a power broker to have...
...book tour for Crashing the Gate kicked off in Los Angeles with a cocktail party co-hosted by liberal luminary Norman Lear and bloggeress to the stars Arianna Huffington - a preview of the landscape inside the gate, perhaps. Boston is his second-to-last stop, and the bar where Moulitsas and Armstrong will speak is filled to capacity - at least a hundred people are there, an organizer tells me. Even Moulitsas can't get in. He and Armstrong stand on the sidewalk while admirers push copies of the book at him and ask him to pose for snapshots. Moulitsas...
