Minister discovers blogging

Minister for International Trade Michael Ahern seems an unlikely champion of blogging but for some reason someone's decided it'd be a good idea if he shared his thoughts about a Seattle conference via moblog.

And how dull his insights turn out to be, full of the usual platitudes about what a great opportunity it is for Ireland, etc. How about some snaps of the drunken late-night parties? The blog seems to just an excuse to plug NewBay's moblogging software. But if the typo-free posts have been painfully tapped out on a mobile phone by Ahern himself, I'll eat my hat.
