Swedish blogger ends minister's short career

A story I missed, but it deserves recording. An investigative blogger has ended the career of Sweden's trade minister, Maria Borelius, after just eight days in office. Magnus Ljungkvist revealed that the minister evaded paying tax. When Ljungkvist approached the newspaper Aftonbladet to run his story it rejected it. So he blogged the tale and then it took off, first in the paper Expressen, which claimed it as its own scoop. Borelius quickly resigned. (Via Wordblog)
