What blogs does the WH read?

Found this little snippet at a RW site that I happened to have bookmarked:

We can't have everything

Rod Dreher at NRO's Corner reports on blog reading at the White House:

We had White House communications director Dan Bartlett in today for an editorial board meeting. I asked him if blogs fit into the WH's communications strategy. He said he has people on his staff whose full-time job is to monitor the blogs to keep up with what's going on. I asked him what the most important blogs to read, from the White House's point of view, are. He said that in terms of what influences the mindset of the Washington media, Kausfiles, the Slate daily roundup of the papers, and Andrew Sullivan were crucial ones to keep up with. In terms of staying abreast of what's happening with the conservative base, the White House makes sure to read The Corner (of course), Instapundit, and Powerline.

I also asked him if the president reads blogs. Answer: "No."

Hey, White House! Read DU! You'll soon realize how out of fucking touch you are with reality.

Oh, and I'm sure the pResident only reads comic books and draws in his coloring books, considering he doesn't know jack shit about the internets. Asshats.

1. He's not literate enough to read comics.

8. No, he doesn't read but he has storytime every night right after being

tucked in for his 9 pm beddy bye. Condi comes by and reads a couple of comic books or they spend some time coloring (working on him staying inside the lines) or she just makes up a fairy tale about his political capital to lull this brainless f*ck to sleep. These special times help ChimpyBoy drift right off to never, never land. Of course, when the sun rises the next morning he wakes up to Never-Has-A-Clue-Land and hangs out there all day.

2. No doubt their "monitors" are reading DU.

Which is very different from shrub reading (and learning) anything.

He never mentioned on his blog that he called the 2000 Elections for his nephew George of course.
