Big Name Beltway Journalist says, "The Blogosphere was Right!"

Well, well well. I guess they really can admit it when they're wrong. Kudos to Jay for being a grown up who keeps his word. Who knows, may be he'll even seek to emulate those infamous blogger ethics and standards at his place.

Twelve days ago, after David Iglesias went public, I said that if there turned out to be a broad conspiracy behind the firing of the U.S. Attorneys, "I will take my hat off to Marshall and others in the blogosphere and congratulate them for having been right in their suspicions about this story from the beginning."
My hat is off. Josh Marshall at TalkingPointsMemo and everyone else out there whose instincts told them there was something deeply wrong and even sinister about the firings, and who dug around and kept writing about them while Iglesias decided whether to talk to the press or go quietly on to his next job, deserve tremendous credit.
