The Washington Post fires its best columnist. Why?

One of the rarest media commodities -- someone who criticizes Democrats "from the Left" -- just got rarer still.

    Glenn Greenwald is just bitter

    Glenn Greenwald is just bitter that it's not him being fired from the Post, instead of Dan Froomkin.

    Fat chance. It's not like Salon, bastion of the foolish reality-based community, will ever let any of its columnists go, at least until the flames of America literally on fire finally destroy the last bleating remnants of its liberal subscribership.

    In fact, it would be just like Salon to give the unspeakably loserish Froomkin a guest column or something, thereby putting itself prominently in the limelight, massively boosting its readership, and entrenching reality-based thinking even more deeply into the unsuspecting soft tissue of the American body politic.

    There are probably Greenwald regulars writing to Salon's editors even now, pledging subscriptions galore if the magazine picks Froomkin up.

    When will these idiots stop throwing away their hard-earned money? Don't you know they won't shut up if you don't stop feeding them?
