Speaker Pelosi's Blog Outreach

As noted this morning in Technology Daily

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spent a considerable amount of energy during the opening weeks of the 110th Congress engaging the blogosphere.

AP reports that Pelosi, D-Calif., held a conference call with a few dozen bloggers after her swearing-in as speaker. The event was closed to the mainstream media.

She also has hired a full-time staffer tasked with blogger outreach and plans to launch her own blog.

Some campaign strategists said Pelosi's courtship of the blogosphere is a savvy move. "It's a mistake to think that these people just sit behind their machines and don't do anything other than talk to each other and send money," said Joe Trippi, who managed the Web-driven presidential campaign of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean in 2004. "These people are very active in their precincts, in their communities."

Ya think Nancy we could rise above the frey as Democrat's and not use a US private jet to get you home on time? I know your importance as a American, however, I cannot defend your stupidity in regards to your own private plane. Help me here cause I am dying. lag
