I've been fascinated by the total lack of fallout surrounding this story. No media outlets have picked it up, and it hasn't been mentioned on any televised media that I've been able to track. Some bloggers are chattering about it, and that's about it, with the exception of the National Review's ferocious defense of Jim O'Beirne, which is hardly surprising, since one of the supposed crony hires was the daughter of an NR staffer.

We hear about the liberal elite and their liberal media ad nauseam, so it's interesting to see a piece like this pass without a ripple. Perhaps the bureau chiefs decided that nobody could be bothered with examining events that transpired all of three years sgo. Who's got that sort of attention span?
