"Bloggers claim I was their first pelt, and I believe that. I'll never read a blog," says the former Senate majority leader Your "first pelt" was that raccoon on your head, you poofter.

"The liberal blog Daily Kos attracted nearly 4.8 million visitors this July..."
Wow. That's about what Drudge gets on his website in two days.

Numbers can be misleading. . .Libs probably do 'their' blogs; what they do to polls. . .well. ..'whatever'. . .
That said. . .how could 'Power Line' not be mentioned here? ;^)

"Bloggers claim I was their first pelt, and I believe that. I'll never read a blog," says the former Senate majority leader, who forfeited that title after bloggers Joshua Micah Marshall and Glenn Reynolds picked up a racially charged remark, drawing the attention of mainstream media (MSM) and his Senate colleagues. I don't recall bloggers having anything to do with that. His speech got national coverage on CSPAN, I am not sure what blogs had to do with that.

"Sometimes there are stories that don't fit with our larger, overall national media strategy that we send out to encourage and motivate and engage people in the blogosphere," says DNC spokesman Josh Earnest.I know that works with the MSM. I doubt the 5th estate will ever fall for it.

The term Washington's elite is an oxymoron.

up a racially charged remark Never been a fan of ol' Trent, but IMHO this is a mischaracterization of the incident.

FR vs Kos:
Not the first time the MSM has featured that much-less-travelled (or even LESS-travelled DU) liberal site over FR. I know we aren't a "blog," but the MSM is too stupid to learn.

Movers and shakers in Washington, especially their younger staff, pay attention to blogs and, increasingly, seek to engage them. Like small, annoying dogs that keep trying to climb your leg, they need to be swatted away.
Suck-ups all of them. But if you were in trouble and needed a friend (like, f'rinstance, your pickup truck was upside down in ditchwater and you were running out of air), they'd walk away, unless they could run away -- like der U-boot Kapitaen, Fat Drunk Teddy.

Poor little Trent Lott still doesn't get it. He is still upset that he isn't the leader in the Senate, and does not understand why. GET A CLUE TRENT!!

Up until lately, so was Public Servant. I doubt it but, Blogs are basically the only way to get them to listen to their constituents.
