The blogging president

Posted at 12:15 PM on December 11, 2007 by Bob Collins (0 Comments)

The New York Times reveals that Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has a blog.

"The president has been keeping the blog for more than a year and promises to spend 15 minutes a week updating it," the story said.

So how's that working out? Not so good.

What the Times article didn't point out was that Ahmadinejad has posted all of three messages this year, confirming what most bloggers know to be true: being a president is easy. Blogging is hard.
