Bolten, Hadley, Perino — Oh, My!

The White House is thinking of starting a blog — or at least a blog-like substance. From Dana Perino’s press conference today:

At 6:15 p.m., the President departs the White House on Marine One to head for his trip to the Middle East, the first stop being Jerusalem.

One note. As we leave for the Middle East trip today, we will begin posting periodic updates from the senior staff that’s traveling with the President on a website — on our website, whitehouse.gov. It will be called “Trip Notes from the Middle East.” This is new to us. We encourage you to log on and to check back often to read some of the updates that the staff will be posting throughout the trip. So it will be just a little bit of a blog.

Q Blog?

MS. PERINO: A little bit like a blog, yes — dare I say.

Q Bolten? Hadley? You?

MS. PERINO: Probably all of the above. Ed Gillespie is also on the trip. And also Bill McGurn, our speechwriter, he’s on the trip. So they’ll be available at whitehouse.gov, and we hope to do something daily, but we’ll just see how the trip goes.

Q Is it just for the trip?

MS. PERINO: Yes, because it’s a trip to the Middle East. (Laughter.)

Q Trip notes — there could be another trip.

MS. PERINO: Well, we’ll see how it goes, and then we may do it in the future as well.

I’m saying nothing. But it’s so hard…
