Now, what was I saying about pissed media handlers? Up until now, political handlers have always screened everything less than real journo's requests for info/comment/etc, because prior to blogs everyone else couldn't do any damage. Now, anyone with a blog can do enormous PR damage in hours. Makes media handlers as redundant as running boards on cars.
And yeah, there is a lot of the entrenched powers getting wake up calls from the net. Seems people would prefer to self organise into communities than be preached at from afar. Funnily enough. :-)
