WH Database Signing Kills Bipartisan Blog Buzz

Today, President Bush finally signed the Coburn-Obama database bill into law. A handful of large blogs from across the political spectrum, aided by hundreds of readers, banded together to push for the bill’s passage, which will create a searchable website of federal grants, loans and contracts.

But when the bill arrived on the President’s desk, he saw fit to invite bloggers who are reliably conservative.

Somehow our invitation got lost in the mail. I think that means only one side of that inspriring blog union got to meet the President. Unless Wonkette… no.

It was an oversight, no doubt.
