Do You want to Get Up To Steam on the US Attorney Firings ?
I am currently well past steam to overheated (maybe plasma by now) but someone who doesn't have time to read all of the original reporting (almost all of which is at
TPM and
TPMuckraker) could do worse than reading this very good article by
Dan Eggen and Paul Kane in the Washington Post.
Unlike the TPMuckrakers Eggan and Kane scrupulously refrain from stating their personal opinions directly. In this case, the rule does no harm and actually makes the case more convincing.
I'd say that political figures who mess up had better fear Paul raising Cain and getting Eggen in their faces more than egg on their faces.
I also applaud the Solomon decision made by some editor, since earlier stories had John Solomon's as an author along with Eggen and now Solomon is spending more time reporting on his family or something.
As
Brad DeLong might say, reading this article, I think the Washington Post will survive for more than five more years. I'd guess he'd give them 6 or maybe even 7 years to live now.
