On TV?

Be careful what you wish for…

I’m here at home on a “snow day” in DC catching up on personal work. I check my blog to see if commenters are behaving themselves, and I followed Political Teen’s trackback link. He writes:

On today’s Connected: Coast to Coast, they mentioned a few bloggers and one of their posts. One of them was La Shawn Barber’s Chris Rock complaint (and boy is she right).

I play the video he links to, and I hear Buzz Machine’s Jeff Jarvis mention my name and see a screen shot of my blog.

It dawns on me to turn my telephone on and check the messages. (I turn off the phone when I’m working. Bad move!) I’ve got a message from a producer at MSNBC inviting me to appear on Wednesday’s show. They’re doing a segment on women bloggers. The show is Connected Coast to Coast with Monica Crowley, one of my favorite conservatives. Oh, Ron Reagan’s hosting, too.

Finally, women bloggers other than Wonkette are being invited to do talking head shows. I left the producer a message, and I hope it’s not too late. Although the thought of being on TV is frightening, I think I’m ready. Maybe.

By the way, I said “Yes!”

Addition: While I was at CPAC the other week, the same producer e-mailed and asked me to appear on a show to talk about Karl Rove’s speech, which I didn’t hear, so I couldn’t do it. I asked her to contact me again if the right opportunity came up. I’ll let you know date and time tomorrow if confirmed.

Update (3/1): A slightly modified version of the post God and Man at CPAC is posted at Townhall.com.

Update II: According to Hugh Hewitt, the God blogging conference is still on:

GodBlogCon I is now on for October 13-15, 2005, on the campus of Biola University in La Mirada, California, under the guidance of Dr. John Mark Reynolds. Very good news indeed. I’ll post more info as it becomes available, but save the dates.

I will blog about the conference and what led up to it later. Smart Christian has more information.
