What the hell happened to Jerome Armstrong (mydd.com)?

[Arugula Latte]

Jerome was a pioneer of the netroots, a real grass-roots, 50-State Strategy, pro-Dean kind of guy. Today, he's a shill for Hillary and spreads anti-Obama crap at every turn. (Today he has another hit piece on the Wright brouhaha. :eyes: )

I can't imagine a less likely person to be for the DLC, anti-netroots candidate, Hillary Clinton.

What gives? Does anyone know the scoop on that one?

1. Wasn't he hired by the HRC campaign as one of their paid bloggers?

I thought I heard that several months ago, although I forget from where. :shrug:

2. Oh my gawd. That is so disappointing.

That would explain a lot. I guess everybody, including Jerome, has a price.

He really sold his soul, though. :wow:

3. He's a careerist, meaning he sells his skills to the highest bidder.

Markos dabbled in that, and learned his lesson, now living off the income from his blog, and doing no consulting for politicians. Jerome, OTOH, "has to pay the mortgage", even if it means turning against everything he supposedly believed in.
