NPR Catches On, Capuano Bites Back

July 10, 2008

The blogosphere is not the only dynamic citizen-fueled community buzzing about a controversial new proposal aimed at revising the rules that House members must follow when posting content on the Internet. The topic caught the attention of the folks at National Public Radio's hip morning news show, "The Bryant Park Project." On Thursday morning, they interviewed Aaron Brazell, the author of the Technosailor blog, and chatted with yours truly about the hullabaloo. I blame the D.C. summer heat or pre-August recess / pre-convention jitters for this gathering storm, but who knows?

Read CongressDaily's latest coverage in the AM Edition. In the story, Rep. Michael Capuano, D-Mass., who chairs the commission charged with updating rules on how members of Congress correspond with constituents, calls attacks on his proposal “laughably inaccurate” and outright lies. Zing! I'm ready for more fireworks.
