Once again the blogosphere has trumped the Washington Post by using real investigative techniques to show the Post how it used to be done. First there was the Deb Howell brouhaha, wherein the clueless Howell fell for GOP operatives' bleats claiming Democrats took money from Jack Abramoff. The bloggers and their readers begged to differ and proved this wasn't true. Howell and James Brady refused to admit they'd made a mistake and in the process they made themselves look like horse-and-buggy proponents as they railed against them newfangled internets-type people.
Now the blogosphere has trounced Brady with multiple damning revelations about Ben "My Dad Was NOT an Abramoff Go-Between (Except For the Times When He Was)" Domenech within 24 hours. Good job, guys. Domenech is another son of privilege, another pro-war slacker who deigns it beneath him to go fight for the precious neocon Middle East democratization scheme. Another snide, arrogant white boy who got his position through dint of genetics rather than hard work and even minimal qualifications. Another rich boy racist. Another Bush crony.
Thanks, James Brady. We couldn't have done a better job of showcasing your incompetence if we'd planned it ourselves. Domenech is the gift that keeps on giving, as we discover more of his malicious ploys by the hour.
