Journo's Hate Mail Takes Amusing Twist

Like many Washington journalists, Roll Call Associate Editor Paul Singer gets his share of hate mail. A recent missive involves reaction to a story involving GOP Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich coming to Congress “impoverished”  and leaving a rich man.  Singer explains, “The data we were working off was Newt’s 1979 financial disclosure showing $10,000 income the year before and bank debts of more than $15,000. By 1995 he had annual income of about $650,000 and no reportable liabilities.”
