Mother Jones’ blog commenting sux (and Drum is no better than at WM)

When you go to MoJo’s blogging home page, first of all, it’s slow to tab through the different blogs.

If I URL a specific blog, like Kevin Drum (more on him below), and try to post a comment to a blog post of his, I repeatedly get the error, after hitting the “post” button, that “this page cannot be found.” (We’ll see how long MoJo takes to respond to my comment to its support e-mail address.)

Now, as for Drum? Been there less than two weeks and already, earlier today, he has a blog post about carbon taxes where he comments on a radio interview with a guy from the Cato Institute. Weekly links to Megan McArdle McAwful can’t be far behind. And Brad DeLong. And the other liberal bandwidth-wasting he did at Washington Monthly.

But, MoJo is a more progressive mag/news site, indeed, than WM. If MoJo offered Drum the spot freely, I don’t get it. It’s like Dianne Feinstein continuing to be senator from California rather than the state electing two Barbara Boxers.
