Largely Unconventional

Making the 100-meter mosey through the convention "media types" at the Sheraton Hotel in Downtown Denver this morning made it painfully obvious that there are two types of media in attendance in Denver: Working press, and working celebrities — and its anyone's guess who's there to actually inform the public.

Overheard from working press: "I need to get drunk ... fast." And, "Isn't pot legal here?"

Overheard from working celebrities: Nothing. Diane Sawyer (above) and network big wigs have more security than a rapper. Katie Couric's team is massive.

When bloggers aren't lamenting the fact that Dems have politely said, "Thanks, but no thanks," (120 blog credentials issued for the entire convention out of thousands of online blogs) they've got my nod to be the frontrunners in great gavel-to-gavel coverage.

That is, before they can find the nearest bar.
