Howard Fineman Writes (kind of) Like a Senator After Happy Hour


“A Series of Blog Critiques: the Good, the Bad, and the Bloggy”
Like a seasoned senator, Fineman has a wonderful sense of the workings of the political world. He trades in the finesse of political banter for vivacious wit. Fineman gets straight to the point of what he feels you need to know in each situation or with each politician. (…So more like a senator a long day and a few Scotches later)
He’ll compare Obama to Moses, paint a picture of the First Lady grooving to Stevie Wonder, and call out lazy, self-indulgent political mongers.
As a college kid, I’ll tell you that his titles could use some work. But maybe that’s how he draws in a different demographic of his readers; you know, the more politically linguistic, older folks?
It seems that Huffington Post drinks their own blogging how-to Kool Aid. Fineman exemplifies the passion, pith, and professionalism that The Huffington Post Complete Guide to Blogging encourages bloggers to embrace.
