The Washington Post Is A Big Fat Bitch

I think Cartman would agree:
NEW YORK The Washington Post in an editorial today declared that it saw nothing unusual or “nefarious in the dismissal process” in the recent firing of eight U.S. attorneys. It called it “the supposed scandal.” At the same time, however, The Associated Press is out with a story that suggests that something fishy — or political, as the Democrats charge — does seem to surround the move.
The Post warned, “The stubbornness and overheated rhetoric on both sides threaten an unnecessary constitutional crisis that would only bog down the inquiry in a distracting fight over process….
“Lawmakers would do well to demonstrate more understanding of the legitimate institutional concerns at stake here — is the president not entitled to confidential advice on personnel matters? — and to remember that the tables could easily be turned, as they were not so many years ago, with a Republican Congress eager to rifle through the files of a Democratic administration,” the editorial stated. “At the same time, history does not support unlimited presidential privilege.”
total fucking liars. gee, what a surprise. Not even little white lies, big glaring black lies with no basis in truth whatsoever.
Remind me again: during the Clinton years, was the Washington Post lecturing the Republicans about how they should tread lightly because “the tables could easily be turned” in the future?
‘Cause, you know, if not, then the WaPo should just help itself to a jolly big cup of STFU.
