Suck it, Lou Dobbs!

…and congratulations to Steve Benen for making AtlanticWire’s list of The Atlantic 50 — the 50 “most influential commentators in the nation.” Wow. Nice job, Steve.

Here’s how they arrived at the list, on which Steve is listed as #44 — one higher than Lou Dobbs. I think Steve should consider this alone a personal and professional milestone.

And because all of this has to ultimately be about me, I’ll note that the still they used for Steve is taken from Digital Pamphleteer, the film I made about him back in 2007.

W00t!
