Ruckman, who had taken issue with Toobin before, has been having a field day in his blog since as he tosses out examples of recipients of presidential clemency from two presidents. "I think it could be argued that it's just a nitpicky kind of thing," Ruckman told me after he noted the mistakes was "inexcusably sloppy" as a modicum of research would have shown the assertion was just plain wrong. I sympathize with Toobin. As every journalist knows, we all make mistakes, most of them avoidable.
Difficult to make sense of this.
