QotD: "Campaign" Bloggers

Blogging is supposed to be rude, anarchic and distinctly "unofficial". Hiring a "campaign blogger" is like hiring a "campaign farter" or setting up a "campaign mosh pit." "Official" bloggers are to real bloggers what the Monkees are to the Beatles, except that's unfair to the Monkees, who actually put out some damn fine recordings. Make that "what Jazzercise is to jazz".

Damn. I was hoping for the farting position for my MP come the next election. Ah, but I forget: farting releases greenhouse gasses, and the Conservatives have got Kyoto gizz all over their faces now. So they won't be needing official campaign farters. Which is a shame, as I would have been a natural for the job. Humph. Posted by: Jon at February 18, 2007 02:06 PM
