A once great newspaper, The Washington Post, has in two years degenerated into nothing more than a trivial house organ for the Obama Administration. Sometimes liberal reporters get just plain silly in their crazy ideological fantasies. Here is one good example today in the Post submitted by John Miller in National Review Online:
Rep. Artur Davis, Democrat of Alabama, is an African-American. He also voted against the health-care bill, both last year and this year. The Washington Post seems to think that a black congressman shouldn't commit the apostasy of "distancing himself from the biggest legislative achievement of the first black president." Forget the merits of the issue: It's a black thing and Davis should get with the program.
"I vigorously reject the insinuation that there is a uniquely 'black' way of understanding an issue, and I strongly suspect that most Alabamians will as well," says Davis, who is running for governor.
Good for him. Shame on the Washington Post for thinking this is some kind of controversy.
