Your Librul Media: If You Read the WaPo, You'd Never Know The Democrats Won The Election
By Susie Madrak Sunday Feb 08, 2009 12:00pm


I'm browsing the Washington Post op-ed pages this morning. Let's see: "Revenge of the Tax Code", a column by some guy I never heard of named Chris Edwards which starts out tagging Democratic nominees for their tax problems and turns into a full-court press for... the regressive flat tax! I mean, WTF? But then all becomes clear: Chris Edwards is tax policy director at the Cato Institute!

Then I move on to "Here's How to Make a Real Stimulus Take Flight", a piece by two guys named Tom Donnelly and Gary Schmitt, in which they explain that the absolute best use of stimulus money would be... to further expand the military! I became suspicious when they started singing the praises of the F-22 Raptor in the dreamy tone most men reserve for talking about their first car. ("A 1968 Dodge Dart, the kind with the slant six engine!")

So I skipped ahead to the end of the column. Sure enough: Tom Donnelly is a resident fellow in foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. Gary Schmitt is director of strategic studies there.

How can this be? Surely there's a Democratic liberal in here somewhere...oh wait, here's a pitch for more cancer funding from pancreatic cancer victim Patrick Swayze. Well, he is a Hollywood actor, he probably is a Democrat...

Gee, they had an editorial mildly criticizing Cheney this week.

Imagine that. Not enough to wash the blood off their hands.
