Political bloggers are making a mistake by allowing their independence to be co-opted by political operative Hugh Hewitt. If they become simply a simplistic unquestioning extension of the Republican party, like Hewitt, their potential credibility is reduced to zero.
Another disturbing sign in Blogland is the Newsweek profile of the "Craig's List" guy, with Craig shown as a negative persona, a nerdy t-shirt potato chip slob who hasn't experienced daylight in a decade.
