Hillary Clinton, Scripted Online
Upon officially announcing her exploration of a 2008 presidential bid, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton said she would be inviting Americans into her living room for a "conversation" via a series of Internet chats.
But new media expert Dan Gillmor of the Center for Citizen Media was not impressed with the final result. He called the chat "bogus" after reading a New York Times piece about Clinton's chats.
"Was this a joke?" Gillmor wrote. "Clinton's alleged conversation with America was so entirely scripted as to be laughable. If this is her idea of changing politics in a webby way, we're not making much progress."
That review certainly can't be pleasing to Peter Dauo and the other bloggers who are on Clinton's payroll to sell her candidacy online.
