Outside Review: Diary of a Political Tourist
by kmikeym
Flow, an online journal of television and media studies, has a long analysis/review of Diary of a Political Tourist: "Diary of a Political Tourist is a follow up to the 2000 video diary Journeys With George in which Pelosi joined the media correspondents assigned to George W. Bush's campaign. There were some good moments in Journeys with George. Pelosi's first person camera captured how the dreary monotony of bad catering, sleepless nights, cramped flights, and monotonous hotel rooms tests the stamina of candidates and correspondents. Diary of a Political Tourist, like most tourism, is an experience in which we mostly get the feeling we've seen it all before."
It goes downhill from there, but it's a good piece.
