It’s official: Murray Waas is the new black. Bob Woodward is out like wing-tipped shoes. Jay Rosen picks up the thread that Dan Froomkin has been pushing for a few weeks now, that Murray Waas is writing the hottest stuff on the hottest story in Washington:

"Woodward is not in the hunt, but he is slowly turning into the hunted. Part of what remains to be uncovered is what Woodward did with the dubious information he got,” Rosen writes.

Murray Waas is “Woodward Now”: “By Woodward Now I mean the reporter who is actually writing the biggest story in town. He’s also putting those parts together for us.”

Now Rosen says that Woodward could get back in the game–it all depends on whether he actually has revelations in his new book on Plame later this year. Until then, stay tuned to the formidable Murray Waas.
