Alex Massie, the Washington correspondent for The Scotsman, writes:
Like you, I'm disappointed Anne Applebaum is leaving the WaPo. Media
Bistro's line, "We hear that it is largely due to her husband having
taken a new job in a different city" is unintentionally amusing.
Um, yes, Radek Sikorski does indeed have a new job in a different
city. He's currently serving as the Polish Defence Minister. Given
that until recently he was prominent at AEI. I'd have thought a DC
media blog would have known this.
I suppose with David Ignatius still in Paris the Post may feel it
can't have two Europe-based op-ed columnists. Sad however, to see her
go.
