Where has this guy been?

From the US News & World Report website:

Senate Democrats and Judiciary Committee minority staffers are miffed that conservative bloggers appear to have more information about Bush Supreme Court nominee John Roberts than they do.

"They've got material out there that we don't know about," complained Sen. Edward Kennedy, who's leading an effort to force the White House to turn over any documents it has on Roberts.

Other Democrats said that they believe the White House is providing supportive bloggers with information that paints Roberts only in a positive light. Kennedy, speaking to reporters last Friday, said that he was unaware of the prolific GOP blogging on behalf of Roberts until his wife pointed it out. Kennedy has said that while he doesn't want to mount a fishing expedition into Roberts's past, he will demand paperwork on most of the cases he has handled as a judge and lawyer.

My question on the part I highlighted above: if Ted Kennedy was unaware of "prolific GOP blogging on behalf of Roberts," what planet has he been living on?

Could it be that the bloggers are just doing the research that the Dems think they can ignore in the hopes that the White House will turn over all those confidential memos from Roberts' solicitor general days? Maybe he could hire some net-savvy staffer to research the blogs.
