The Rude One Auditions To Be the Liberal Blogger at WaPo

[Coexist]

The Rude One wants a job at the Washington Post, to 'balance' out their new conservative.

No commentary necessary:

<snip>
So here's a list of everything the Rude Pundit, representing liberals everywhere, agreed with the President on:

-- "I like the size of the pie, sometimes I didn't particularly like the slices within the pie." Oh, the Rude Pundit couldn't agree more. Especially when you get a slice of pie that's all crust. (See? As the liberal blogger at the Washington Post, the Rude Pundit drops little humor bombs to show everyone he's not so deadly Cindy Sheehan serious about everything.)

-- "Anyway, your performance at the Grid Iron was just brilliant." Yes, Helen Thomas was brilliant at the Gridiron dinner. As the liberal blogger at the Washington Post, the Rude Pundit feels compelled to demonstrate his insider status because that's what makes his opinions valid.

<snip>
Oh, and, by the way, Ben Domenech is a shitty, confusing writer, a crazed Christian wad of fuck who must have blown Fred Hiatt, whose hiring demonstrates that there is no mainstream conservatism anymore, a homophobic elitist who quotes the Bible, St. Augustine, and Shakespeare, but pathetically tries to make himself one of the "people" by citing his favorite Simpsons episodes or talking football, but who despises dissent, isolating his children in a homeschooled hell that'll make sure they never can communicate with the rest of humanity on a rational basis, just like dear old Dad.

So, Washington Post, can the Rude Pundit have the job?

It only seems appropriate in the interest of "balance"

I wish I would have been aware of the Pundit's interest when I wrote Ms Howell & the other powers that be at the Post last night to bitch about the hiring of Domenech, the unqualified, untalented hack. And Regenery Publishing to boot-yeeeechhh! In the sake of Fairness and balance, such buzz words with all things media related these days it is only proper that we get the the Rude Pundit employed to comment on "Blue Country"!

Gridiron stuff:

Helen Thomas dressed up in green curtains, complete with long brass drapery rod across her back, as Scarlett O'Hara/Hillary Clinton. She sang: "All I want is a plantation, Big White House paid by taxation. A Hil'ry coronation, Oh, wouldn't it be loverly."

11. Thanks! I get the picture...

:)

I saw the Press conference but couldn't quite get the audio on her question. I heard the reference to the Grid Iron affair but your description helps me understand what actually happened.
