OMG OMG Tapscott's A Go OMG

We reported it earlier this week and today the Examiner made it official: Mark Tapscott will become the Washington Examiner’s new editorial page editor (replacing David Mastio whom the Examiner let go back in June 2005).

The full announcement is after the jump, but perhaps most interesting is Tapscott’s own giddy reaction, as published on his blog:

  • “Halleluyah! I am Headed Back to the Newsroom!!”

  • “Can you tell I am excited? To be honest, I have never been so excited about a job in my entire career”

  • “…if that’s not enough to make my mouth water (and believe me it is!)…”

  • “I am so excited I can hardly contain myself people!!!”

A birdie in the Examiner’s Virginia office tells me that many in the newsroom hope that Tapscott does a better job than Mastio and doesn’t take the page too far rightward from the center/center-right perch it has assumed in Mastio’s absence.
