The Washington Post yesterday offered a fun profile of rightwing radio host Dana Loesch, advising readers that she has a real knack for upsetting liberals and stirring up controversy, and also that she's now poised to be the new boss of the talk-radio time slot that used to be held by Rush Limbaugh. And don't you go suggesting that the Post is basically normalizing fascism, because after all, the article does include some quotes from critics, who seem awed by her edginess, too. The rest is nothing more than fluffing Loesch as a "scourge of the left" and a "powerhouse conservative influencer" who is so much, much more than just the former face of NRA-TV, where she got a million bucks to make videos watched by a few thousand people each, if that many. In her post-NRA radio and wingnut media career, you see, Loesch is
Apparently Loesch's ability to spout vile opinions on a wide variety of topics besides guns makes her some sort of wingnut polymath, and worth the sort of fawning profile you'd expect for some entertainer who didn't casually dismiss mass shootings as a mere media fixation or suggest patriotic Americans may need to shoot a whole bunch of enemies of America, many of whom probably read Wonkette.
We shouldn't be so harsh, though, since we learned one useful fact about Dana Loesch from the story: Her last name is pronounced "Lash," which is good to know, since we'd been trying to pronounce it as if it had an umlaut in it.

I know some think Boebert has been channeling her inner-Palin but I think her goal is more Loesch than Palin.
