Recently, the deputy political director of ABC News announced that he was leaving the network to work for SEIU, the Service Employees International Union: one of the most goonish and left-wing organizations in America. (The deputy political director didn’t describe it that way.) Two basic thoughts: 1) Gee, what a surprise. And 2) Isn’t he more valuable to SEIU, and its overall cause, at ABC than at the union itself?
