Not Presidential Blogging Material
NBC News anchor Brian Williams is blogging about his travels with President Bush, but Stephen Baker of Business Week Online's Blogspotting finds the reports rather tame, maybe even lame.
Baker's analysis seems on target when you see consecutive blog headlines like "In The Motorcade," "From The Hotel Ballroom" and "Back In The Motorcade." Real mouse-clickers, those. Reminds me of the travel blog Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, penned during the August congressional recess, Dairy Queen photos and all.
"Other bloggers would be able to give us impressions of the president -- tell us if he seems confident, well-prepared, if he's making good sense," Baker concluded. "Williams limits himself to describing what it feels like to be traveling in the president's entourage. These are blog posts written to ruffle as few feathers as possible."
