Talking Points Memo, one-time home of Laura and myself, brought down a corrupt attorney general. Today, the media establishment gives Josh Marshall, Paul Kiel and Justin Rood their due, in the form of the George Polk Award. Let no one ever say ever again that blogging and investigative reporting are polar opposites. Raise a glass of something sweet and brown to TPM.
Also, did you see that McClatchy's amazing Baghdad bureau chief Leila Fadel, who won a Polkie herself, is only 26? I feel old.
