John Aravosis at AMERICAblog calls attention to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid having hired an attorney specializing in libel law, to "respond to a story by The Associated Press that was critical of a Las Vegas land deal involving the senator."

Solomon recently got spanked by the Post's ombudser Debbie Howell, for a nothing-there piece with which Solomon had tried (and failed miserably) to impugn John Edward's character.
