Bill Clinton Meets With Bloggers

Posted on September 13, 2006

Jeralyn Merritt at Talk Left reports on attending a meeting with Bill Clinton and several other bloggers.

Why would I fly to New York for a day? Because former President Bill Clinton invited a group of progressive bloggers (who happen to be Democrats) in for a 2 hour roundtable meeting at his Harlem office. It was awesome. More later, including a list of all the bloggers there (and yes, even the TL kid was there, thrilled at the opportunity.)

Attending bloggers according to Talk Left included Jane Hamsher and Christy Hardin Smith from Firedoglake; Atrios; McJoan from Daily Kos; John Aravosis and Joe from AmericaBlog; Matt Stoller and Chris Bowers from MyDD; Bill Scherer from Liberal Oasis; Dave from SeeingtheForest; Steve from The Carpetbagger Report; Jessica from Feministing; Barbara from Mahablog; Jeralyn Merritt from TalkLeft (and the TL Kid); and John Amato from Crooks and Liars (attended via phone). Peter Daou, now Hillary Clinton's Online Communications Director, also attended.
