Bloggers And Politics (Wizbang)

Journalist (and blogger) Cathy Seipp hosted a panel on on bloggers and politics for the L.A. Press Club last night. Mack Reed at LAVoice has a pretty complete transcript of the event. Here is his description of the panel:

Moderator, journalist, blogger and former Buzz queen Cathy Seipp
Matt Welch, veteran blogger and journalist
Charles Johnson, editor of the fiery anti-terrorist blog LittleGreenFootballs
Kevin Drum, former author of Calpundit and now blogger of the Washington Monthly's Political Animal
Roger L. Simon, mystery novelist and screenwriter who took up blogging to promote a book ("I haven't written a novel or a screenplay since!" he jokes upon introduction.)
Sassy Republican Moxie, who Seipp said "represents the 20% of women bloggers"
And Slate political pundit Mickey Kaus

Find out what they had to say.

JournalCon 2004 (this year it's in DC) will be having a similar panel.

Other coverage: Sean Bonner, Cathy''s daughter Cecile DuBois, Amy Alkon.
