Tom Ferrick is writing for us!

OK, so I have to gush here for just a second.

Tom Ferrick is one of my idols. The longtime reporter and columnist at The Philadelphia Inquirer has a nose for news and an intellect that, frankly, puts other political reporters to shame, including yours truly.

I’m too young to really remember him as a reporter, but for years his columns were the highlight of The Inquirer for me. I remember reading some columns he wrote about the size of local government that left me thinking: “Gee, how come nobody else talks about this?”

In other words, he’s the man. And now he’s writing for pa2010.com! I’m proud to say we just published his first column—which is of course excellent—and there will be more in the months to come.

Please join me in thanking Tom for his contribution to pa2010.com. You can leave the fawning and hyperventilating to me if you’re not comfortable with that.

    Ferrick was a hatchet man for the Democrats when he was writing for the Inquirer. I remember his annual “Sleazy” awards given almost exclusively to Republican candidates, many undeserved, but it tarred the candidates for life.

    Nothing like a guy who takes potshots at candidates who have no recourse or opportunity to respond.

    He’s one of the reasons I cancelled my subscription to the Inquirer a few years ago and I’m rooting for the paper’s demise.
