CNN Provides Checklist On How to Make Politics, Blogging More Obnoxious

If CNN Internet reporters (nee "blog reporters") Jacki Schechner and Abbi Tatton haven't been delivering on their politico blog meta coverage, Jon Klein has something in store for you! It's the network's "E-lection Nite Blog Party," about three steps down from a cuddle party and only 600 percent less interesting than MTV's True Life: I'm A Meth Addict. As the Los Angeles Times regurgitates the press release, we learn the cable net will play host to about two dozen bloggers in a Washington D.C. Internet lounge – free beverages and snacks provided, but feel free to bring your faves – who will be able to post live throughout election night (as the results flood in!) thanks to this new technology called wifi.

As for Jacki and Abbi? They'll be right there in the thick of it, reporting live from the scene as DailyKos throws down with RedState and the melee turns blue and red into one big purple sleep over. Meanwhile:

Subscribers to CNN Pipeline, the network's broadband service, will be able to monitor the happenings at the blog party through one of the online channels, which will be dedicated exclusively to footage from the event.

It's not that we don't have a CNN Pipeline membership that'll keep us from tuning in. It's just that we'd much prefer to be tuned into venusexgoddess1's live cam show.

    Yeah right mami. Klein fire his love monkey, not a chance! And like Klein would let anyone get close enought to his love monkey to get a cuddle but Klein, not in this lifetime.

    I thought Klein hated bloggers, you know, his unemployed men in pajamas statement, WTF?
