If the Washington Post will listen to anything, it’s definitely a Ford Taurus, so this is worth a shot, sir. We commend you. STOP HIDING IN YOUR OFFICE, KRAUTHAMMER. YOU HAVE TO CONFRONT THE FORD TAURUS AT SOME POINT. [DCist]

DAVE WEIGEL LANDS AT WASHINGTON POST WEBZINE: The long, weird, dumb career journey of Teabagger Beat hero Dave Weigel has ended, for now: Having been pushed off the Washington Post weblog to great outrage a month or whenever ago, Weigel has now been hired by the other weblog owned by the Washington Post, Slate.com. [Via [...]

Have you heard about the hawt new Afghanistan war journalism, Wikileaks? The Washington Post heard about it too, probably by checking Google News or whatever. And two unlucky reporters got the Sunday night job of writing about the “new approach” Wikileaks took to publicize the damning war documents — a “new approach” that completely passed [...]

Remember when George W. Bush invited the leaders of Planned Parenthood and NARAL to the signing of his anti-abortion law? He did this because he was in the business of building bridges to his political opponents. But now the important objective newspaper The Washington Post (an offshore tax shelter run by the Kaplan Test Prep [...]

Great news for unemployed Americans: Many of us are probably Top Secret Intelligence Agents, for the Government. Don’t worry if you’re not really doing much — nobody else is, either. And nobody knows that everybody else is an Intel Asset, or if they know, they don’t know who, exactly, is an Intel Asset. Relax! Submit [...]

If you’re like us, your office is literally filled to the ceiling with photographs of you and Barack Obama — sailing vacations, neighborhood barbecues, Sunday afternoons watching the game, you and Barry on a roller coaster making crazy faces, etc. Important local Politico competitor the Washington Post would like to have this free editorial content [...]

Here’s lots of Foreign News for you, first some from Spain and then some from France: Spain won the World Cup! Hooray! What hard-hitting journalism about the tournament did the Washington Post produce? Did it involve interviews with “man-body” experts? Was it full of errors? Of course!

Wonkette Weeping Eagle winner Charles Krauthammer is doing his best to prove he earned it. Today he wonders why Obama has “modesty” about America but none about himself. A president, like any American, is supposed to believe that the United States is the bestest country in the world. But Obama doesn’t! Yet MEANWHILE Obama is [...]

Here comes a very prestigious honor disguised as a cheap web poll: You will help choose the worst Kaplan College Test Daily News op-ed columnist of 2010 for Wonkette’s first annual Weeping Eagle Awards. What do these five wretched writers have in common, other than being embarrassing hacks who are always wrong about everything, even [...]

WELL, TUCKER CARLSON IS AN INCREDIBLE ASSHOLE: Ezra Klein on the closing of the JournoList email group: “It was ironic, in a way, that it would be the Daily Caller that published e-mails from Journolist. A few weeks ago, its editor, Tucker Carlson, asked if he could join the list. After asking other members, I [...]

National media embarrassment the Washington Post acted exactly like everybody figured the Washington Post would act in the wake of some pointless e-mail episode involving snide remarks by Dave Weigel about the teabaggers he covers and their main newspaper, Matt Drudge’s 1996 link list: the Washington Post pushed Weigel out of his job. Luckily, the [...]

WEIGEL RESIGNS IN DISGUST: OK, we do not know if he is disgusted, but we sure are! The Washington Post’s great experiment in assigning someone who knows what he’s doing and works hard to cover a political movement ends in failure. Weigel quit in the wake of his note to a private email list that [...]

The illiterate who ineptly cuts-and-pastes things at “Fishbowl DC” (remember that site?) is trying to get some traffic for the long-ignored MediaBistro blog by posting some banal crap from that “JournoList” email group the media kids in town use to send emails to each other. What could turn that into some SEO traffic, two years [...]

ALSO WE CALLED HER A ‘CONTEMPTIBLE TRAMP,’ BUT OUR STYLE GUIDE PREFERS ‘BRAZEN HUSSY’: “A preview of the Republican primary for governor in South Carolina in the June 6 A-section incorrectly said that ‘several men’ have alleged that one of the candidates, state Rep. Nikki Haley, committed adultery in affairs with them. Two men have [...]
