Point your guns in the opposite direction. You have far more in common with us than with those you’re protecting, and you have more to fear from them than from us. Fire your tear gas and rubber bullets at those who partition the planet, who try to tell us everything can be bought and sold, everything belongs to those who have money, everything belongs to those in power, everything belongs to them.

Dirty Greek - White House Gaggle Admits Its First Blogger
  Politics : White House Gaggle Admits Its First Blogger

FishBowl DC has done it! After trying for about five days, MediaBistro: FishBowl DC has gotten a press pass into the White House. If you don't count Gannon/Guckert as a Blogger, which I certainly don't, they're the first.

I documented a few of Garret's tries, because it was interesting to me that though Mr. Gannon/Guckert got a press pass and Scott McClellan and others said it was "easy," FishBowl had to try for days to even get a response, much less the actual pass.

However, whether this is a publicity stunt for the internet by the White House or an actual victory, The New York Times now has an article up that announces a new big hit for the Blogging world: Garrett M. Graff of FishBowl DC now has a White House press pass. This is also a big deal for me, because he's my age - 23. That gives me hope that young Bloggers can start making some big hits. Let's also hope that, unlike conventional journal (`entry_id`,`time`,`title`,`body`,`topic`,`description`,`delicious`) ists, maybe they'll risk losing that pass by asking actually difficult questions.

Update: Garret says McClellan has no visible horns in person. I would assume he puts them back on when he gets out of the sight of the reporters.
