While I have to take the Washington Post to task for its reporting from time to time, its news-gathering is usually professional and often excellent (with the exception of its Latin America reporting, which is always loyal to the "Washington Consensus").
But, under Fred Hiatt, the paper's editorial page is becoming a joke, and since the Dems' victory in the mid-terms, it's just gotten worse (as has been apparent in its reporting on the bogus Nancy Pelosi in Syria non-scandal).
How bad has it been, vis-a-vis reality? Well, consider this editorial, via Matthew Yglesias, in which the WaPo's editors are so eager to attack Dems that they just re-write the whole U.S. Constitution to fit their premise …
President Bush used his Easter weekend radio address to suggest that while Americans are "blessed" to have so many brave, volunteer military service members, congressional Democrats are jeopardizing their safety by refusing to sign his $100 billion war funding bill.
Got that? The president apparently writes the bills, and Congress signs them.
So, in honor of the rocket-scientists at the Washington Post, I offer this incredibly wonky explanation of how legislation gets done in America …
PS: Brad Reed concurs.
