I’ve been surfing the blogosphere for hours now, gathering commentary for publication in a Saddam-capture blog roundup for my newspaper. Do you know how hard it is to find the left blogging this morning? The pro-war right is all over this story but I’m having a heck of a time trying to find what the usual major-blogger suspects on the left think about today’s news. Could it be that they just don’t know what to say? Or is it the case that the right is much better at using the new media than the left — and if so, isn’t that fascinating and counterintuitive?
