1. Wow! I met him in DC

He was standing outside the Hilton where the Take Back America conference was being held. He was such a neat guy!

7. Is this marginalizing him by the Post?

From the cited article...

McConnell favors a floppy white sun hat, shorts, brown socks and brown shoes. He received a PhD in math from Cornell, plays the violin and likes to write online essays on musical vibrations. In "The Impossibility of Exact Intonation," he cites Pythagoras and Bach and takes readers through a series of calculations to arrive at 129.746, which, importantly, according to the essay, isn't 128.

Seemed like it's an attempt to make him look like one of those whacky PHDs by not explaining why 128 is important. Shoddy reporting IMNSHO.

5. Did you see the quote under the photograph?

They're assuming the impeachment supporters would be aggressive. If anything, we should know by now that it's the NeoCon supporters who are vile, vicious and aggressive.
