You're a Political Whore. Merry Christmas.
It's official. The Washington Post, the newspaper that, once upon a time, brought down a crooked presidency, has officially whored itself to the current regime.
The editorial basically says that Bush and Cheney were right to expose Valerie Plame as a CIA agent, and that Joe Wilson is obviously telling lies. Jane at Firedoglake manages to rip this little supposition apart, using mighty things we call "news" and "facts." Of course, after the whole Domenech scandal, I doubt anyone at the Post really cares about facts anymore.
I never thought I'd see the day when the paper of Woodward and Bernstein would stoop to the level of The National Review. Such a fucking disgrace.
