Power Line Blog Gets Scalped: Paul Mirengoff Quits Blogging

What is the Flap?

Long time conservative blogger at Power Line Blog and attorney Paul Mirengoff has quit because of pressure from his day job – a partner in a large law firm, Akin Gump which has a large presence in Washington D.C.

William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection has the story of how, when Paul Mirengoff criticized the Yaqui Indian prayer offered at the Tucson memorial, his remarks were denounced as “insensitive and wholly inappropriate” by a partner at Mirengoff’s K Street law firm, Akin Gump.

So now Mirengoff’s offensive post has been taken down by Power Line and Mirengoff has stopped blogging there. But there’s a lot more to this story than political correctness run amok.

Read all of Stacy’s post.

All I can say is a pox to Akin Gump and that I will miss Paul’s posts over at Power Line.

This entire matter is BS and Akin Gump should be ashamed of themselves.
