Now, the next installment in Extreme Mortman’s regular feature: a peek inside the blog-reading habits of our nation’s top reporters and media celebrities. This time we’re doing something really nutty — double the fun. The Cleveland Plain Dealer was kind enough to provide two responses: from Stephen Koff, the Plain Dealer Washington bureau chief and Jean Dubail, editor of OPEN, the Plain Dealer’s political site, and a veteran editor and political junkie.

First, here’s Stephen Koff:

After the usual newspapers, my own list is short: Romenesko (a daily habit), Kos and Drudge as I get to them, the fix, quick skims of The Note and Hotline on call, occasional Roll Call electronic updates. Wonkette is a blast, though I feel hopelessly — and thankfully — dull by its sensibilities.

I look at a few Ohio blogs: Cincinnati Enquirer’s politics extra, buckeyestateblog, brewedfreshdaily, others sometimes. Jim Schifrin’s the Whistleblower (I think of it as a blog, though it comes by e-mail) can be vulgar and offensive — he wants it to be — but has occasional gems from Ohio politics. Colleagues and other folks send notes or links that inevitably lead me to other blogs, though an awful lot out there is ruminations on that day’s New York Times or Washington Post.

Now, here’s Jean Dubail:

I look at a number of Ohio blogs fairly regularly: lincoln logs, right angle blog, nixguy and red-state (not the same as the unhyphenated redstate). lefties: buckeyestate, ohio2nd, psychobilly democrat, plunderbund, UAPA Upper Arlington. (That’s not an exhaustive list.)

I also look at a couple of local ones that aren’t exclusively politlcal, like brewed fresh daily and writes like she talks. Also the Cincinnati Enquirer political blog.

As for national, the usual: Taegan Goddard’s political wire, Hotline On Call, Stu Rothenberg, Andrew Sullivan, Josh Marshall, Daily Kos. Used to look at Drudge regularly, but the more he writes about movie stars, the less I read.
