Saying that he is always in the mood for a little Michael D. Shear/Jeremy W. Peters action, New York Times reader Mitchell Gleason was reportedly pumped Wednesday after noticing that an article about Barack Obamas judicial picks for a Washington, D.C. federal court was authored by his favorite reporting duo. Here we go, baby! Shear and Peters in effect! Gleason told reporters, adding that he usually counts on Michael D. Shear for his judicial reportage but that instances when correspondent Jeremy Peters teams up with him are rare treats indeed. The thing is, these guys balance each other out perfectly. Peters brings Shear out of his comfort zone, and Shear brings Peters down to earth. You might have a favoritemy wifes more of a Shear person, and Im definitely a Peters guybut when you get these two together, boom. Its like lightning in a bottle. At press time, Gleason was speculating how fucking amazing it would be if both teamed up to write a book about the federal justice system.
