“Citizen journalist”/blogger Steve Rubel is at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital moblogging the scene as reporters wait to hear the latest about President Clinton’s emergency quadruple bypass surgery. It’s funny for me — who has dealt with Steve in his capacity as a PR guy — to see him flip sides and embrace the journalist role. Heck, he was even interviewed by Entertainment Tonight!
Steve says:
If you’ve never seen the media assemble for a major news event, it’s fascinating. There are people all over the sidewalks all waiting for the hospital PR people to make a statement. They were supposed to do so at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, but it’s now 2:20 nad there’s no word yet when they might.
As for me… I’ll be signing off soon for the Labor Day weekend. I’m wishing the former President well, and hoping all of you have a lovely, relaxing few days off.
