Creative bios at WaPo?

TPM Reader TS writes in to note that in the Washington Post online chat this morning they have "Stuart M. Gerson, acting attorney general at the start of the Clinton administration and now a D.C. lawyer." Oddly, for someone in the Clinton administration, his answers seemed quite generous to the Bush administration and the Republican line on the Attorney Purge scandal.

No mention that Gerson was a Bush I appointee until this question came in ...

San Francisco: Just to clarify, you were a holdover from the George H.W. Bush Administration during the difficulties Bill Clinton had in finding an Attorney General in early 1993, is that correct?

Stuart M. Gerson: That is correct. I had been the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division during Bush I, and was Acting Attorney General at the beginning of the Clinton administration.

Glad he was there to give the Clinton administration perspective.
