Rain In A Rusty Bucket

It's what makes the bucket Rusty... and by the way, if you see Rusty tell her to write.

It's What You've Got

What you have is Barbara Boxer posting diaries in the egalitarian bazaar of the DailyKos diaries. There is selectivity for progressive viewpoints, but Democrats will more than do.

That's Senator Barbara Boxer. Here is the picture from her second diary, you see, a DailyKos diarist arranged the idea that people could send roses to Senator Boxer to show their appreciation of her stand on the election certifications and the Condoleeza Rice confirmation for Secretary of State. On Valentines of course.

And right now she's advising "Tell George Bush to nominate a new UN Ambassador!" in a "diary" which is among the recommended diaries (diares can be recommended by the users who click their approval).

The daily visits at dailykos are about 400,000 a day according to sitemeter. Not pageviews but someone staying at the site for a while. Some visits will be different people, say someone that logs on in the morning and then at lunch.

It's sort of remarkable. That's a blog. That's a Senator. That surpising. If it's your blog nothing can take the shine off since at the very least it's a kind of legitimacy you literally cannot buy. But tacitus (aka trevino of redstate.org) tries to by claiming it's merely a staffer. This comment is a reply to his own piece relying on the questionable premise that Bolton is opposed by both North Korea and Boxer and so can't be all bad. Believe me when I tell you tacitus is capable of far better reasoning than that, so much so that it's a bit of a dissapointment.

But maybe before long Senator Hegel will post diaries at redstate.
