Yesterday, along with a group of other bloggers, I got to meet President Bill Clinton. Crazy, I know. The meeting was informal and conversational and pretty surreal. I mean, there's just something weird (awesome weird, but still) about sitting across from Bill Clinton.
The other bloggers included folks from Firedoglake, Eschaton, Daily Kos, AmericaBlog, MyDD, LiberalOasis, Seeing the Forest, The Carpetbagger Report, Mahablog and TalkLeft. (I think that's everyone...)
A transcript of the on-the-record portion of the meeting should be available soon; in the meantime check out what some other bloggers had to say about the meeting. I'm in transit, but when I'm back home I'll write a bit more about it...
A big thanks to Peter Daou for the invite.

That's a pretty cool gesture, whether you agree with his politics or not. What would be even better?... If Bill himself blogged.
I look forward to that transcript and reading whatever else you have to say.
Well, Mbeki blogs once a week, if I'm not mistaken. It would be nifty if major American politicians blogged, too.
Wow. More than ever I want to get on the "freelance writing/blogging" thing... this is way too cool for words.
I am really looking forward to what will be written about this event too. It would be nice to see at least one of the invited bloggers do some critical analysis of the event even though I doubt that will occur. Most of them seem too star-struck to be interested in anything like that.
It's interesting that no African Americans or Latinos were in the meeting. With black folks voting in big numbers as Democrats I don't get it.Did no one look around while in "Harlem" and say why are there no black and latinos in this meeting? A big thanks to Peter Daou for that?
