Channeling The Netroots
Conservative blogger Mary Katharine Ham of Townhall was a bit surprised to see Rep. Dennis Kucinich of Ohio, one of the more vocal Democratic critics of President Bush, lean in to shake hands with the commander-in-chief as he entered the House tonight for his State of the Union speech.
Ham was even more suprised to see Kucinich go out of his way to shake hands with Bush a second time as he left the House after the speech. "The nutroots will make you pay, Dennis," she said in a reference to liberal bloggers who repeatedly used "The Kiss" greeting at a previous SOTU between Bush and Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., to attack Lieberman.
We don't know yet whether the netroots will make Kucinich pay, but they definitely noticed. From Markos Moulitsas Zuniga of Daily Kos: "[W]as that Dennis Kucinich by the entrance/exit grabbing Bush warmly on both the ways in and out?"
