Rachel Paulose and Lori Swanson: A double standard?

Mark Cohen is the editor of the weekly Minnesota Lawyer, where he also publishes a weekly column. His two columns on United States Attorney Rachel Paulose — here (April 2) and here (April 16) — have provided the most intelligent discussion of the coverage of my friend Rachel, who has recently been the subject of a hatchet job or three. At the new Minnesota Lawyer Blog Mark Cohen now notes a Star Tribune story that gratuitously drags Rachel in and contrasts the coverage of management issues involving Rachel with management issues involving Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson: “A double standard?”
