You Can Never Be Too Careful With Dave Weigel

For anyone who thinks Bloomberg News is a big, booming operation that spares no expense when it comes to controlling its employees, you’d be… absolutely right.

Dave Weigel, formerly of Slate, is in the process of getting his background checked. You know, just in case he once stole a cupcake or lit a building on fire.

So far they’re not finding anything too terrible. But they can’t seem to figure out that he once worked for The Washington Post. (Pssst…he did until he “resigned” for writing his real thoughts about some conservatives on Ezra Klein‘s liberal JournoList. He was immediately rehired by The Washington Post Company’s then-owned Slate. Boy did WaPo take a BIG stand on that one.)
