Mike Bishop Blocks 'Blogging for Michigan' from Senate Employees

Apparently bankrupting the state isn't all Michigan State Senate Republican Leader Mike Bishop wants to do. This time he's gone after one of Michigan's best lefty blogs, Blogging for Michigan.

After a post went up today on BFM about the wrong-doings one of Bishop's cronies, out-of-touch Senator Bruce Patterson (R-Canton), Mike Bishop's Chief of Staff Matt Miner, called Secretary of the Senate Carol Viventi and instructed her to block access to all blogs from the Senate offices.

After quickly realizing that all blogs also included the blogs on the Republican rag, The Detroit News, they specifically only blocked Blogging for Michigan.

Tsk, tsk Mike. First rules of the Netroots, don't piss off the bloggers.

Hell hath no fury as a lefty blogger scorned.

Most importantly, by instituting this block, Mike Bishop is promoting censorship and trampling on the high holy First Amendment, and trying to take away everything you, the netroots is trying to create.

Ladies and gents, your Republican State Senate Majority Leader is hard at work for you, abusing his power in every way he can.
