Funny the things that will get you out at the Washington Post

Sleeping your way to the top is fine. Never meeting a war you didn't like is fine. Taking speaking fees from groups you praise in columns, fine. Say something unflattering about Matt Drudge among a small group of people, well that is verboten.

If The Post wants to assign a “good neutral reporter” to cover conservatives, “we’d be thrilled,” said Gainor. But quickly added, Weigel “wasn’t one. He looked at the conservative movement as if he was visiting a zoo. We’re more than that.”


Gainor's right, in zoo's somebody cleans out the shit.

He looked at the conservative movement as if he was visiting a zoo.

In other words, he was doing good, honest, objective reporting. God knows we cannot have that in the pages of the Washington Post (or even worse, on its website!).

when future historians look back at this period, they will find that a relatively small group of very wealthy individuals drove this country and the world at large into a very deep, dark ditch just so they could continue to reap their ill-gotten riches.

Weigle's scalp on their belt is just another small step in their larger plan.

The greatest irony in this is that it's over someone gassing about Matt Drudge, who is, at his very, very best (which is still awful), little more than a political gossip.

But, the WaPoo takes political gossip very seriously, and taking the measure of midgets like Drudge is simply not permitted.
