D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty was already having enough trouble in his re-election campaign against Council Chairman Vincent Gray before mysterious flyers and ads in the Washington City Paper started appearing depicting Fenty in a diaper on a rocking horse and bearing the title “SLAP THIS BRAT.” The diaper fetishist constituency is sick of your BROKEN [...]
Fancy New York City glossy Vanity Fair has a new profile of Washington’s Premier Hostess & Greatest Newspaper Writer, Sally Quinn, describing the turmoil this gal went through when her husband’s newspaper, The Washington Post, decided to end her insane print column, “The Party,” after she had used her space one week to describe a [...]
Following the New York Times magazine feature on DC cut-and-paster Mike Allen is no easy job, so Washington Post media typist Howard Kurtz had to do a whole story on Chuck Todd — even though Todd is not primarily known for forwarding some links to his BCC list. Who is Chuck Todd, anyway, if not [...]
Nothing like a Friday morning screen shot of strange things from the washingtonpost.com front page, is there? Here’s the situation: the Washington Post would like to get in on the “Is Elena Kagan a massive lesbo?” debate — which is rapidly moving up the list of establishment Washington media’s most childish and embarrassing narratives in [...]
The Washington Post‘s Kathleen Parker, recently named the best commentator in all of American journalism by the Pulitzer Prize committee, has written some crap today about, let’s see, Elena Kagan, the arch-lesbian.

Famous college-testing company Kaplan is now racing to get rid of all its loser “print journalism” properties, with forgotten newsweekly Newsweek now officially being handed to some broker who will put it out of its misery. (Kaplan also owns the Washington Post, the struggling youth-blogging consortium and holding pen for insane old neo-cons.) But Newsweek [...]
Your Wonkette just went to the Washington Post website to see if it had anything about a supposed Dodd-Shelby financial reform deal. Maybe it does! But this was higher-up and a “must-click”: “Parallels to ’24′: N.Y. police commissioner measures country’s success against Jack Bauer’s fictional heroics on FOX drama.” Ha ha, no he doesn’t though! [...]
In its latest attempt to draw readers into fatal traps of anti-information, the Washington Post has redesigned or relocated or re-aggregated or whatever its political coverage into this new thing, PostPolitics.com, which is maybe the same thing as THE POLITICO.
WASHINGTON POST IS GREATEST NEWSPAPER ALIVE! According to the Pulitzer Prizes, which were just announced this morning. The Post won four, besting the New York Times in their annual inside joke of a contest. For our purposes, the winner of Best Commentary was… freaking Kathleen Parker “for her perceptive, often witty columns on an array [...]
You know those “Kaplan special education” booklets or whatever that you buy for kids who aren’t doing too good with the book learnin’? Well, turns out that company also publishes a local newspaper, the Washington Post. The paper had recently fallen on very hard times, because its whole staff was basically made up of feeble [...]
DAVE WEIGEL IS THE NEW RICHARD COHEN! Washington’s most knowledgeable blog reporter of wingnuts, Dave Weigel, has been hired by the Washington Post to blog-report about wingnuts — presumably just the ones outside of Washington Post headquarters. Congratulations to him! Big money! He must have carefully omitted “former Wonkette guest editor” from his resume… [Michael [...]
This article is basically great. Because naked penis/vag shower run-ins, it seems, are the norm! More normal than apple pie or baseball or Cleveland Steamers: “The private gyms are sanctuaries where lawmakers can huff, puff and disrobe knowing that only fellow members will see them.” Giggle!
Last week, the Washington Post published a front-page photo of two (gay?) men kissing in the courthouse’s “gay marriage line.” Many readers were furious. Today, Washington Post ombudsman Andrew Alexander determines once and for all whether this gay kiss ever even happened.
