Famous Last Words: Longtime Washington Scribe Marc Ambinder Won't Grow Long Fingernails

Late last week NJ‘s Marc Ambinder, formerly with The Atlantic, announced his departure. In a cryptic note, he said simply that he was moving on, but provided no major details. Or minor ones for that matter, except for a phone and email where he could be reached.

We tracked him down late Friday by phone to learn more. Thankfully he was in a chatty mood. “I don’t have a job lined up,” the soft-spoken Ambinder told FBDC, explaining that he has an eBook coming out in January and is in the midst of a book proposal for another.
