WH national-security official fired for leaking inside info on Twitter « Hot Air

WH national-security official fired for leaking inside info on Twitter « Hot Air: "Looks like the “vacuous wonk” won in this case. Joseph also spent considerable time ripping Republicans, including my good friend John Noonan (by going after his weight? Weak, dude), but the newsmaking tweets were the barbs aimed internally.  Rogin notes that the identity of NatSecWonk surprised many in the foreign-policy community, because Joseph wasn’t just a low-level clerk.  He had been a fairly significant figure in the Obama administration, demonstrated by his new assignment on Iran, plus his wife Carolyn Leddy “is a well-respected professional staffer on the Republican side of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,” according to Rogin."
