The Real Ugly American interviews Weekly Standard executive editor Fred Barnes at length about his new book on George Bush -- an excellent read, by the way -- and Rick asks him about his favorite blogs. I'm happy to report that CQ is on his list:

UA: How about you do you read any blogs and if so who are your favorites?

FB: Well let’s see I read Real Clear politics, Powerline, Hugh’s blog [Hugh Hewitt] of course. The neat thing about Hugh’s blog is he has these links to other blogs and they are all pretty good. Drudge, you have to read that. Brit Hume that’s the first thing he looks at in the morning. Then Captains Quarters thats a good one. The Kaus Files, Mickey is a smart guy. I don’t do it myself. It would be an overdose for me. I just love the democratic impact of people who blog. I am all for it.

It's always a thrill to find out who reads the blog, but I write for the Daily Standard on a semi-regular basis ... which makes Fred my boss, so it's also a relief ...

Make sure you read the rest of Rick's interview with Fred, and check out Rebel In Chief. It's a brisk and unusual take on George Bush, and very entertaining.
