Squit While You're A (Talking) Head

USA Today has canned that old Clinton-bashing hand, Tom "Squit" Squitieri, for lifting quotes without attribution in his Pentagon reporting.

Details of Squitieri's disreputable history during his anti-Clinton glory days are here, here, and here. No mention of it here, natch.

And Squit's gotten himself lawyered up -- with one of Paula Jones's old legal hacks, Joseph Cammarata.

Seems accuracy and honesty weren't as important back in the 90s. I'm sure the firing had nothing whatsoever to do with the subjects of Squit's reports: the Bush war dead and the Administration's grossly negligent preparations for war.
