A Facebook “education-workshop” is scheduled to be held in D.C. next week for politicians interested to learn about, what else, social networking. The Facebook Political Summit page describes the event for crack campaign staffers as a “lively seminar about how Facebook and social media can be an integral part of your campaign and constituent strategy. Find out what you should start doing today to boost your campaigning and fundraising efforts, while connecting with your supporters on a deeper and more personal level.”

This dog-and-pony show is designed to milk cash from the same presidential candidates who shied away from YouTube as if it were run by Tavis Smiley!

Seriously, what do they “teach” these staffers? How to use a laptop?
