The Washington Post reports today that several lawmakers have taken up blogging. Unfortunately, the blogs sound kind of dull:

The sites, invariably, are much tamer than other, well-known blogs. There is no fire-breathing partisanship. No snarky dishing. No soul-searching confessionals. In fact, some appear to be little more than news releases strung together to look like a blog.
Only one lawmaker, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), allows readers to post comments on his site.
Freshman Rep. John J.H. “Joe” Schwarz (R-Mich.) keeps a weekly online journal of the votes in the House, the bills he has sponsored and official letters he has sent.
Vermont Democratic Sen. Patrick J. Leahy’s office blogs the action on the Senate floor. (“Senator Ted Stevens from Alaska is very upset regarding the attempt by Senator Warner to include the Defense Authorization bill with an unknown number of amendments,” the site reported last week. “He thinks what Senator Warner is doing is a very odd procedure and against Senate rules”).

Think we could get any to join porkbusters?
