Republican Tom Delay has been blogging for a little more than a week. Or has he? According to a quote from an interview done with MSNBC (found by Bloggers Blog) he has someone else who does his dirty work for him:
During an appearance last night on MSNBC, DeLay was asked about the mechanics of writing for his new blog. “Well, I’m not a very good writer,” DeLay acknowledged. “I have the ideas, and I have somebody else put the words together.” Apparently he still isn’t interested in doing research on the Internet.
Ghost writing is nothing new, but using it in the blogosphere seems foolish to me, with so many people crying about transparency. However, it would seem that some posts are actually Delay�s work, since he puts his name on them in one way or another.
I have no idea who this Tom Delay character is, not being very well versed in local American politics. However, I do know that if youre going to use blogging as a means to reach out, you sure should know what youre doing.
