Dave Weigel points out that the Post’s big in-depth look at the couple who crashed the state dinner at the White House the other night seems to have involved a lot of Post staffers. The articles byline is Neely Tucker and Amy Argetsinger and at the bottom of piece there’s this:

This opening paragraph from Jason Linkins on Mark Halperin is delightful:
