Mr. Scott beams up to Sacto

A little inside baseball perhaps, but political editor and former Star-News reporter Gary Scott untethers himself from the San Gabriel Valley (specifically the sake samplers at Japon Bistro) and takes a job for another daily journal of news as their man in Sacramento.

I once thought Gary's chops for journalism could be melded with the obvious international savvy of CNN's Anderson Cooper to make some kind of super-reporter. But then I remembered Anderson Cooper is a hack.

At least we'd get someone with a complete name.
