That Op-ed seems to have been written by some brainless Obama-hating conservative twit!
Oh, yeah, it was by Fred Hiatt – so, never mind.
What a festering pustule on the bunghole of American humanity that man is!
“My advice is for President Obama to hire Fred Hiatt as his deputy chief of staff and then never listen to a single thing he has to say.”
BRILLIANT!
Hiatt is well-qualified – nobody with any sense listens to him now.
Alas, I have a sinking feeling that with such a move, WaPo would just hire somebody as bad or worse to replace him. I hear Krauthammer is a great editor. (Richard Cohen might be in line except that he’s too fucking lazy for a job like that.)
Laziness isn’t an issue if they follow the New York Times approach–just let your pundits write whatever they want, and don’t even bother editing them.
I have actually wondered before if anyone even looks at David Brooks’s columns before they’re printed. Apparently not.
The Mustache of Understanding is even worse, from a writer’s point of view. Brooks may be a tool but he can write, when he wants to. Little Tommy can’t pen a coherent thought.

I’d skip the first and go straight to the second.
I just took a glance at the comment section for Hiatt’s op-ed. I would be appalled to have such a low level of discourse following me. Not a good sign for Hiatt.
