I HADN'T PAID MUCH ATTENTION to the Bush White House / Blogger kerfuffle -- Danny Glover has a roundup here -- until I got an email from CBS public eye asking my opinion. Here's my response:
It reads like wishful thinking to me. The White House -- like the GOP generally -- has been extremely lame in dealing with the blogosphere, which is why the left blogosphere has done better since 2004. I get the usual PR stuff, but if they're doing anything more blog-sensitive than that, I haven't been seeing it.
Further proof of their ineptitude, of course, is present in the very bragging that is at issue.
