 Outside the Beltway 

Cornyn Mentions Blogs on Senate Floor

Mike Krempasky reports that, “Today, for the first time in history, the word “blogs” was said on the floor of the Unites States Senate.”

Interesting. I’d have guessed it would have happened some time ago. Blogs have been all over the mainstream media for a couple years now and bloggers played a significant role in securing the resignation of a Senate Majority Leader.

He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia.

Maybe he was referring to Ted Kennedy and the clerk mistranscribed the terminal "B".
