What blogs do members of Congress read?
John Hawkins has a list, at least of Republicans. Hey, Congressman Bob Ney reads my blog. Hi, Bob! Do you think Chloe deserved to win "Project Runway"?

Between Malkin and Kos, I think the congressman has got everything covered.
Congressman Ney may be reading your blog for legal advice, Ann. At present, it appears that he needs it.

Too bad that's not more comprehensive. I see hits every now and then on my sitemeter from House.gov and also Senate.gov... so I know someone is reading mine, I just am not sure who.
Anything to get rid of government.
What, you don't think the current strategy in Washington of spending the government out of existence on borrowed money is gonna work?
This post is almost perfectly Althousian - on discovering a member of Congress reads your blog, what's the first thing that comes to mind? A question on what they think about the latest pop culture zeitgeist. :p
I mean really, Little Green Footballs?
I mean really, Daily Kos?
At least Lizard Nation can construct a sentence without sounding Tourettish.

I loooove that Ney has such varied blog-reading.
(It's also interesting that despite the Miers blip, almost all the Congressmen mentioned still read Hewitt, who is a good egg)
He in fact, reads many more blogs than I do; and I don't hold down a job and have LOADS of time on sabbatical.
He is one scheduled and organised mofo.

House.gov and also Senate.gov... so I know someone is reading mine, I just am not sure who.
I get those, but lots of .mil IPs too, which is great since I adore the military.
I know you're asking the same thing, but is there an IP range where you can see where they are from (sometimes it says, "unknown country" with the .mil endings).
Cheers,

Well, in one of his last acts as House Admin chair, Ney held a hearing on campaign finance reform and the Internet at which Duncan Black (Eschaton) and Mike Krempasky (RedState) appeared, and to which Markos Moultisas (Daily Kos) was invited, but unable to attend.
Hi Bob,
They have computers inside the big house?
FYI to all you it getters, Ney, in September when he used to head the Committee on House Administration, was looking into regulating internet speech, i.e. bloggers. At that time, lots of bloggers left and right got together to testify. In fact, even Atrios has acknowledged that Bob Ney is his bff (and actually seemed informed.)
I suspect that's why Ney has more than just Trent Frank's list of kool-aid blogs on his list.
Dave,
It's not that they aren't spending enough money, it's WHERE they are spending it.
They are building hospitals in Iraq, but the nearest hospital to me has been shut down for several years. Then last year, the healthcare clinic in my small town shut down. My wife needs surgery, and they can't find enough beds in the cities until more than two months after she first had an 'emergency' surgery to stop the bleeding (she had required five pints of blood) at the closest rural hospital and the doctor said, 'right away,' on the major surgery, so it takes two months.
It's nice to know the government is spending so much borrowed money, but they sure aren't spending it where it's needed. I would be nice to have a government that took care of business at home first instead of spending it overseas.
