Orswag Update.*

Sandwiched between Elizabeth Edwards and Chelsea Clinton as "The Reliable Source Person of the Year", Jim Fallows notes that The WaPo indeed finally found a place to cover Peter's pickled principles promotion...

In the funny fluff features section, of course!

Peter Orszag: The OMB director made nerdy sexy by hooking up with ABC hottie Bianna Golodryga. Then he made wonky rakish -- when his jilted ex had his baby just weeks before he proposed to his new love. Now married, he ended the year cashing in for a big job at Citigroup.

(What, you were thinking this was straightforward business news?)

* It must be "Pretty Boy Face" news day on the Subsumed blog, eh? I think the elder grandmothers who are still reading/viewing must just lap this stuff up. Wait til the demographics shift though, and people are calling for quality newsreporting once again...
