…and he’s better than before.
ABC News today announced that Jake Tapper (one-time haiku genius and video game trend-spotter) will be their new senior national correspondent. In addition, Tapper will serve as ABC News Senior Political Correspondent during the 2006/2008 elections.
We’re also excited that Tapper will take to the blog again, albeit at a new location: “Political Punch.”
Other notable moves around town:
