Is the Washington Post going to endorse Bush?
Just curious. This formerly left-leaning paper has been sucking up to Bush for quite a while. Katherine Graham must be rolling over in her grave.

1. They wouldn't--would they?
I mean--Jesus--what the fuck would they be thinking if they did?

3. They would be thinking that they
also didn't want to get their "'big fat tit' caught in a wringer" as your former Attorney General John Mitchell said about Katherine graham to Woodward on the phone late that night.

Edited on Sun Oct-17-04 05:38 PM by dennis4868
of the Post on TV a few weeks ago and he hinted they may actually endorse Bush because of 911 and security issues.

4. If you've followed their editorial page shilling for Iraqnam, I'd give it
at least 50/50 that they'll endorse shrubya.

5. They'll give Kerry a "tepid" endorsement
current editors are moderate liberals on social and economic issues but they're extremely hawkish - so basically neocons.

I can't remember where I read this - it was posted on DU. But some source claimed in another publication that it would probably be a "tepid" endorsement of Kerry.
