This is a very interesting article. It is not taut, it is repetitious. That is one of the vices of bloggers, who are not constrained by length of articles and who do less editing and reviewing.

However, it contains one gem of an idea. Yes, both the Internet and bloggers SHOULD have a seat at the table. I hereby suggest that Jim Robinson should apply for the issuance of White House Press Corps credentials for FreeRepublic. The worse they can do is say no, but the White House (which has the call) might just see an opportunity and say yes.

JimRob might also suggest that Salon.com ALSO be credentialed at the same time. (We will run rings around Salon, don't you know, in head-to-head competition.) Just a thought.

Perhaps a combined effort with both liberal and conservative blogs/chat sites could make an effort (rotating press corps member??). A level playing field certainly won't hurt us, and having a foot in the door to ask *our* questions would certainly give the "mainstream" press corps fits.
