Kos apparently couldn't be reached

It would seem that Kos and Huffington were, like Henry Kissinger, traveling and could not be reached for comment.

Jarvis notes that liberal bloggers such as Arianna Huffington and outlets such as Daily Kos are helping to set the spin by saying they'll "hold their noses and say they'd take (presidential counselor) Alberto Gonzales over other likely choices, in part because Gonzales would irritate the right-wingers who irritate them."
