Journo Says D.C. Politics Has 'Worn Him Down'

Today is Harper‘s Ken Silverstein’s last day on the job as Washington Editor.

The long-time political writer is moving on. He explained over e-mail, “Washington and Washington politics has worn me down. Every time I write a story I feel like I wrote it a year ago and five years ago and 10 years ago. Nothing every changes here.”

Silverstein, who moved to Washington in 1993 and has been covering Washington politics ever since, got a fellowship at Open Society Institute and will also lead special investigations at a London-based group, Global Witness.
