Heard It Through The Grapevine

Thought I would start a new segment today called "Heard It Through The Grapevine". I get to hear amusing stories all the time (well, at least i find them amusing) and thought it would be fun to pass some of them along. Of course, the names have all changed and are appropriately vague to protect the innocent. ;-)

On discussing the potential of doing Web marketing with a VERY Sr. campaigner with one of the major political parties in Ontario, the Sr. Campaigner said:

(and this is a paraphrase)

"Oh I don't think the Internet is very important to us. I am more comfortable reading AM talk radio transcripts [in order to gauge public opinion], than a survey of Internet Blogs … 1 or 2 elections from now [aka 10 yrs from now], things will be different."

Gives new meaning to the term Sr. doesn't it?

(ps. to those with feed readers, the person in question sent me a more accurate quote so i updated it)
