It's Snowing Stupidity At The WaPo


Apparently the once great Washington Post Bezos Bugle thinks it hasn't gone far enough to the right, with George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Jennifer Rubin, Michael Gerson, and Mark Thiessen among others soiling its pages.  Now, the Bezos Bugle is hiring The Volokh Conspiracy, a right-wing climate change denier site, to replace the departed star Ezra Klein on its website.  What, George Will's quill pen broke?

If the Bezos Bugle's strategy is to out-right-wing the Moonie paper Washington Times, it might want to look more carefully at regional political demographics:  DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia have become Democratic strongholds, and the region in increasingly diverse ethnically with Latino, South Asian and African American households on the rise, not exactly fertile ground for Teapublican opinion.  What next for the Bezos Bugle?  A dinosaurs-and-humans-coexisted creationist column?
