Yeah, unfortunately he's going to the WAPO so we'll still be hearing from him.

He will just get lost in the chatter over at the Washington Fish Wrap. The only news that would have concerned me is if he would have taken over the editorial page at the Wall Street Journal.

I am sure his ego is the real reason why he is leaving. In LA, no one gives two rat's asses about the editorial page editor of the local paper. The "important people" in that town only care about Variety, so he can't get a decent table, he is not invited to the cool parties. In LA he is just another "nobody".
