Less than Impressed, I Guess

George Packer, writing for MotherJones.com, admits an addiction to reading blogs, but states “The Revolution Will Not Be Blogged." He seems to have the impression that blogs are written, for the most part, by bright young men, who don’t get out of their pajamas, and who hash and rehash over a subject, to such a degree, it goes dead.  I think he’s reading the wrong blogs.

Update: Daniel Drezner has some half-digested thoughts of his own, and multiple links to other’s thoughts, on Packer’s piece.

  1. "He seems to have the impression that blogs are written, for the most part, by bright young men, who don’t get out of their pajamas, and who hash and rehash over a subject, to such a degree, it goes dead.  I think he’s reading the wrong blogs."

    Right. Venlet is wearing waders, not pajamas, for instance.

  2. But when I’m in my waders, John, nothing else matters but mayflies and trout.
