NYC Mayor Calls Out Opponents Blog

I know its off-topic, but I had to post it. Steve Rubel posts that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg called out his opponent, Democrat Fernando Ferrer, for false claims on his blog. I think it's great to see blogosphere politics meshing with real-world politics. More importantly, Ferrer claims that the blame for the false information goes to "an unnamed staffer for crafting it, based on Ferrer's dictation." First thing politicians who want to blog need to learn: You always write the blog yourself. I realize that can be a tall order for people who have so many people working for them to do this, but if you didn't write your blog, your readers will see it and you'll be embarrassed, eventually. NYC Mayor Bloomberg Rewrites Opponent's Blog disclaimer: I have, in the past, worked on various citywide and statewide campaigns, with several of the individuals involved on both sides. I could be accused of bias in either direction. Nathan Weinberg writes the popular InsideGoogle blog.
