LOLwarcriminals - the mustache of pammy landing



These distinguished diplomats and gentlemen have recently appeared on the op-ed pages of the Washington Post, offering their sincere advice to the Obama Administration. Said advice is contained in the alt text above.

Post Executive Editor Marcus Brauchli said he worries "that we are not well-enough informed about conservative issues. It's particularly a problem in a town so dominated by Democrats and the Democratic point of view."
As Eric Boehlert points out in the second link above, the Washington Post provided no such forum to former V.P. Al Gore. Of course, the Clinton Administration couldn't match the stunning national security and foreign policy succeses of the Bush-Cheney junta, so there you go.

UPDATE!

Marcus Brauchli will take questions online tomorrow at 12:00 PM.
I don't know if I can make it, I'm swamped at work. (If only they would leave me alone! But it's more like six.)

Marcus has even more explaining to do than we thought!

Why Do Republicans Hate America?



(The second screencrap from Drudge is small, but it contains a deliberate lie.)

Why?

I realize there are some who didn't want the Olympics because they were bad at sports in high school.

But the Republicans were following (as always) the cues they were given by Matt Drudge and Rush Limbaugh: Obama is trying to get Chicago the Olympics, and therefore this is the worst thing in the history of the world!11!!

Cue Drudge2.0:


That's right, if Chicage gets the Olympics, it's bad for Obama. Of course, the other thing is also true, as seen below.

The Washington Post worries that traditional news outlets like The Post simply don't pay sufficient attention to conservative media or viewpoints. Perhaps the Post could follow up its recent waste of op-ed space on the likes of Dick Cheney, John Bolton, and such as with a John McCain post about how he would have won the Olympics for Page, Arizona.


(Screencap from Media Matters for America)




The Weekly Standard knows it showed the ugly face of conservatism. So they covered it up.

If the Washington Post wants to report conservative views, this is a major opportunity. I think Marcus Brauchli meant that the Post should report EVEN MORE of what conservatives want reported, instead.

And that will be my contest entry.
