Noticeable Absence

Perhaps we bloggers are just getting a bit too big for our britches, but I think that Sean has a point:

Charlie Sykes has a great line up for his “Insight 2005” show this morning. I do see something missing: where are the webloggers?

Charlie has been very active in the blogosphere, so I don’t think that the lack of bloggers at his event is any kind of snub.  It may just be that “Insight 2005” is just more of a traditional affair.  Maybe next year.

(*note* although I am flattered by Sean’s comment regarding me, that’s not why I linked to his post.  But it didn’t hurt wink)

  1. I think the neat thing about Charlie Sykes’ program today is that it gives listeners a chance to hear a lot of things from people who don’t normally spend a lot of time answering questions.  How often do you hear a debate from those people on TABOR?  You bloggers yammer on about that stuff all the time.  AND you accept and respond to feedback from your readers.  This is a pretty unique situation for those guests.  As nice as it would be for Sykes to acknowledge the bloggers and have them on the show today, I think it would take time away from hearing people who don’t have the kind of interaction with the public that you do.

  2. I think Charlie would have liked to have you guys on. But if TABOR wasn’t such a big issue, if Voter fraud wasn’t such a big story he probably would have been able to give you the time. But would you rather listen to the Mayor, Scott Walker, Paul Ryan, or an A&M Aggie? (just kidding Owen)
    Don’t feel snubbed he’s only got 3 1/2 hours smile

  3. As I said on my blog, I’m glad none of us are there.  Insight 2005 is a day for the movers and shakers, not guys like us.

    If Charlie wants to have another recap with us, then I’m for it.

    But not today.

  4. My post was kind of tongue-in-cheek. My head hasn’t gotten so swollen as to think webloggers should be everywhere.

  6. And now we all know how to get a plug on Boots and Sabers.  My next colum: “How Two Aggies are Saving the World.”

  7. After listening to the show, I think I’m going to see about going into the “singing name” business.  You know you’ve made it when someone sings “Chaaaaaaaarlieeee Syyyyykes.”  What was up with that?

    Fuzz, can you hook me up?  I’ll sing your name, too.

  8. I’d pay for a jingle.  That’d be awsome.  Then the only thing that prevents me from having my own radio show is broadcasting skills.
