The Washington Post has taken a couple of well-deserved direct hits in the past 24 hours. The first was an offhand comment by Hardball's "Tweety" Matthews to Rethuglican guest Mike Pence that the WaPo used to be a liberal paper, but is now a "neocon paper." Then Rep. David Obey (D-WI) in remarks on the House floor slammed the Post editorial page's continuing support of Bush's war in Iraq. He could have added to that they're also supportive of Lewis Libby and hostile to the government's case against him, and that they've expressed serious doubt that the U.S. attorneys scandal will amount to anything. What a change from the great paper they were years ago.
