Mommyblogger Talking Points 101: Take Them Down if You Have To


Damn. I wish Heather would let me put a little spy receiver in her ear so that I could help her out of tricky PR jabs at bloggers coming from traditional media. Because they are going to come.

When Kathie Lee interviewed Mommyblogger Queen Dooce on NBC's Today show and was on the attack about exploitation/at-risk, instead of fumbling about New York, Heather could have said:

"Well, it's not like we are paying children in El Salvador pennies to sew and glue tacky Kathie Lee clothes for WalMart, mangling their limbs, spirits and innocence. How did you and your daughter Cassidy make peace with that, Mrs. Gifford?

Hey, idea, could we be like Kathie Lee? Is it even possible to hire third world children to blog for you? Because that would be very lucrative exploitation--I'll research it and let you know.
