I'll grant you that this list looks less like America than like Washington the federal city (or Sally Quinn's idea of a proper Georgetown dinner party). The problem with the Post op-ed page, however, is not the over-representation of Washington officials and bigwigs. It is the stranglehold that the at least two dozen (!!!!) regular contributors have gained over it.In a what? Note: The Nuge only grunts one verse on this, so it is not intolerable. Shut up & play your guitar, one might say. Or one might shout: "Freedom!!"

You make me click Slate?
ReplyDeleteBut I just learned to H8 Slate yesterday!
And I don't agree with Jack Shafer.
My imperfect count detects only one contribution to the Post op-ed page by a member of the House of Representatives and only two by U.S. senators over the last month.
Dude, you've conveniently excluded op-eds by Dick Cheney, John Bolton, and other failed shrub'ites. Editorials which are duplicated by Hiatt's own stable of war-mongers and torture fans.
It is a neoconservative cesspool, made even more disgraceful by becoming more so in the wake of 8 years of spectacular neocon failure.
Fuck teh WaPoo. And Slate, too.

ReplyDeleteHa ha. Ha. Made you look. But it still wasn't enough that a blow was delivered to the very heart of the W.P.'s op-ed operation? Some people just can't be satisfied.
