Blogwatch: Mar. 21, 2005

The age of blogs reached a milestone last week when the first blogger was officially issued a White House press pass. Blogs such as MYDD.COM had taken up the cause of FISHBOWLDC’s Garrett Graff, who was once Howard Dean’s webmaster. After Graff finally snared a credential, the ex-Harvard Crimson editor showed up on his first day with homemade cookies to thank White House staff members. He later described the experience in his blog as both “surreal” and “anticlimactic.”
