    WaPo "analysts" (except Froomkin) are utterly useless

    Howard Kurtz, David Ignatius, Richen "never saw a Bush policy I couldn't apologize for" Cohen, "dean of journalism" king dipstick himself David Broder, Charles "exterminate all the brutes" Krauthammer, George "people are commodity" Will, Fred "whatever the Administration says MUST be right" Hyatt and of course Bob "I was for the war before I was for my book deal" Woodward . . . the Washington Post has assembled a skull-clutchingly moronic line-up of so-called analysts. Froomkin is the sole voice that saves the paper from being written off entirely as a pathetic propaganda tool of deluded DC Insiderdom (see: Republic party mouthpiece). We expect Will and Krauthammer to be shills for their failed ideologies, fine. But the others, especially Broder. . . wow, WaPo has really sunk to serious new lows during the past couple of years.

    Wait, I stand corrected. The investigative work done by Dana Priest. Priest and Froomkin save that paper from being just expensively-produced toilet paper.

    Don't get me started on the NY Times. . . [Brooks, I'm looking at you, moron.]
