An interesting discussion about how what we think we need to do for our readers or our connection to the blogosphere can create stress for us and impinge on our non-virtual lives.

Why might women be less interested than men in fields like math or computer science? Someone really interested in the answer has to look at some of the crap girls put up with.

It's the kind of psychological defense that allows George W. Bush to go on thinking he "hit a triple" when he was really "born on third base." What kind of merit can be cited as the basis of his status as president, other than having been born to a wealthy, powerful, political family named "Bush"? It's the kind of psychological defense that led to Forbes listing as "self-made" people who inherited their wealth and merely speculated their way to greater wealth, based on the advantage of wealth and status they did not earn.
Putting aside whether Bush actually thinks such a thing, or the details of the broken link about Forbes -- that's a pretty stupid line of reasoning to apply to any of the bloggers he mentions, with the possible exception of Arianna Huffington (who is still 'self-made' in her own creepy way).
Does he think Kos or Atrios or any of those nutroots leaders were born with blog traffic? Arguably they started with privilege in the sense of being 20th century, native English-speaking Americans (although IIRC Kos didn't even have that) but the jealous low-level "progressives" whose resentment is quoted didn't have it any different.
