Behind the Curtain: Mark Leibovich book 'This Town': A Washington takedown - POLITICO.com: Talk about incestuous: A top Obama official cashes in with a top corporation with the help of a top Washington fixer and gets top-shelf treatment from one of Washington’s top journalists (who also happens to be the co-byline on this piece.)
