Candidate Blogs

Dem BlogsThis community is filled with bloggers and I wondered if anyone had seen Maureen O'Dowd's take on how the Presidential Candidates are starting to use, for better or worse, "blogging" as a method to get their "message" across. ( Registration required )

When reading a Dowd column, don't forget The Immutable Laws of Maureen Dowd.

"The Immutable Laws of Maureen Dowd, made simple:

September 11! Enough said? So -

1. George W. Bush is a serious man leading a serious government and nation in the serious War on Terror (TM)

2. Anyone who does not respect this serious seriousness - such as Maureen Dowd - is childish, vindictive, inflexible, irresponsible, and passe.

3. Write items one and two one hundred times on the blackboard.

4. Wash out your mouth with soap, then brush your teeth, then go to bed like a good little boy/girl.

5. Before going to sleep, don't forget to pray: especially that God lets the War on Terror (TM) do whatever the President needs it to do. "
