Whaddayaknow: MSNBC’s Hardball has a convention blog, Hardblogger Who’s manning the keys? Ron Reagan, Willie Brown, Dee Dee Myers, Chris Matthews, and others. They promise to make it the “Mother of all weblogs.”

And all this time, I thought it was her. Nonetheless, “Welcome, more traditional media types.”

Now … is it really a blog? You be the judge, and visit the site to see Big Media’s take on the medium.

No syndicated feed? Lame. It’s hard to call yourself “the mother of all blogs” when nobody who uses an aggregator will read your site.

The Mother of all Weblogs?

What next? Chris Matthews standing on the balcony of MSNBC firing a shutgun in the air as the studio crew parades past?

Well, Joe Trippi’s post yesterday was fine. Chris M’s post was all promo — and understandable.

But…. Andrea Mitchell …(shoes and “get” of SJ Parker), we could do without… unless she gives us pillow scoops from the Master Fed of the Universe (alan greenspan).

Maybe Chris can get Countdown Keith to add his version of Odd Blog — with Matthews sound effects …HA-A!!
