“The speaker will be blogging”

Fun, fun, fun. Nancy Pelosi is schmoozing left-wingers on the Internet and is going to start her own blog:

Shortly after her swearing-in as the first female House speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi took time to field questions from a few dozen Internet bloggers on a conference call that was off limits to mainstream media.

Last week, Pelosi’s aides arranged for bloggers to question two Democratic House leaders on another conference call shortly before President Bush’s State of the Union speech.

Pelosi also hired a full-time staff member this month dedicated to blogger outreach, and is making plans to launch a blog of her own. The day she was sworn in, bloggers were given special accommodations at the Capitol to cover the event, and fed lunch…

…Pelosi’s aides are planning new media training sessions for Democratic lawmakers and aides partly to expand use of blogs — one more sign that Congress’ presence in the blogosphere will only grow.

“The speaker will be blogging,” promised Karina Newton, Pelosi’s director of new media.

“She understands the power that the netroots have.”

Careful, Nancy, careful.

Oh, and memo to Nancy’s new media director: Here’s a reminder of the kind of misogynistic moonbat comments Harry Reid allowed when he started blogging. I hope as a fellow woman, wife, and mother, Speaker Pelosi will do better.
