Yeah, the only blogs that are improved by their comments are ones that are built a little like a newsgroup, with multiple (though often limited) top-level posters and a self-selecting community of smart, active commenters. The SF-lit/lefty-pol/first-aid(?!) blog Making Light is a prime example.
Two years ago I might've included Daily Kos but I've since abandoned that for the echo chamber that it is. And looking in my "News" bookmarks folder, I see Boing Boing and Language Log, both of which once had comments but now don't. You'd think that LL would fall under my rules, too. So it's clearly not an easy thing to pull of well.
