According to today’s Roll Call, House Speaker Dennis Hastert will begin logging entries in his own blog starting this week:
Sometime early this week, visitors to www.speaker.gov will be able to click on “Speaker’s Journal” and read Hastert’s own musings on the political issues of the day and whatever else strikes his fancy.
“The Speaker wants to deliver a personal message to his fellow bloggers once or twice a week, followed by interesting news stories and fact items that may have been overlooked by the press,” said Hastert spokesman Ron Bonjean.
The Web log will focus mostly on politics and the Republican agenda but could also include more personal observations. This means that Web surfers may be in store for a few wrestling references or reviews of Hastert’s latest dinner at A.V. Ristorante.
