The FishbowlDC Interview with the Wile E. Weigel

Say hello to Slate‘s David Weigel. Emotions have cooled since we published Weigel’s scathing e-mails on conservatives from the Journolist listserv and he was subsequently forced out of The Washington Post. “Here’s an insane thought,” I wrote him last week. “Want to do the Fishbowl interview?” He accepted, no arm-twisting required. In reaction to publishing the scribes e-mails, Weigel’s fanatical followers called us “neo con asswipes,” ranted and told me to light myself on fire, and they charged that publishing his e-mails was personal.
