Wayne Madsen, a journalist who covered both major party conventions last year, is mad about what would seem like a fairly obscure thing: Credentials. While reports of the Bush inaugural team have near-uniformly described the process as disciplined and efficient, Madsen's experience -- and ours -- is precisely the opposite. (The folks in charge of credentialing online media are even more surly and inefficient than those at the DMV.) After weeks of trying, Madsen never got his credentials, which limits his ability to cover the inaugural events this weekend.
