A message to the progressive blogosphere

An extremely witty email from a lefty politico set the old grey matter going yesterday:

By the weekend nobody apart from Tory Bear will be talking about #KerryOut. Bar a few diary mentions, this is a story that even ConservativeHome can barely manifest enthusiasm for. The reason why most are ignoring it is the same as why my office ignore entreaties to discuss the status of my bowels with them: they are not interested in talking sh*t.

In this vein, many thanks to a contributor for the following good advice:

Scrapbook was party to some of the anti-tweeting on this but has come to the view that a full on blogwar is exactly what Harry Cole et al want. The progressive left should get back to what it does every day with increasing efficacy: derailing narratives from the right and exposing the Tories with verve and wit.

Let’s not get distracted by this ridiculous sideshow.
