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:
Staff writers Cindy Boren, [...]
This opening paragraph from Jason Linkins on Mark Halperin is delightful:
As many of you know, Mark Halperin is this babbling idiot whom Time magazine hired to cobble together this insipid web product called “The Page,” which is designed to scam people looking for trenchant, up-to-the-minute political news into giving Time many, many unnecessary ad impressions [...]
