Washington Post Needs to Wake Up and Smell the Bloomberg
Front page news from today's Washington Post:
Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) has told private-equity firms in recent weeks that a tax-hike proposal they have spent millions of dollars to defeat will not get through the Senate this year, according to executives and lobbyists.According to executives and lobbyists? I guess it's beneath the Sleuthy McSleuths at the WP to quote from Reid directly. Here's Bloomberg, breaking the same news three months ago:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said lawmakers won't take up legislation this year that would increase taxes on some managers of hedge funds, buyout firms and real-estate partnerships and may consider it in 2008.
