This seemed too good to leave in the Buzzmachine comments

Jeff Jarvis talked about how one of his posts on the Jon Stewart/Crossfire thing* was quoted on CNET and on the NYT site :

It's funny seeing a quote written in blogspeak pulled out in a news story; it looks like a kid in jeans at the prom.

And then in the comments there was a discussion of blog-quoting protocols for major media, and I was like:

The advantage of blogging is that your name is spelled correctly, right there on the page. So as long as they don't screw that up, I say quote away.

*Which doesn't seem to have received the requisite -gate nickname yet... Dickgate?
