WaPo Descent Watch: False Equivalence Edition

Over at LGM, davenoon catches an "article" that should have been published on the op-ed page.

And by "should have been published" I mean "only given the already incredibly low standards of that formerly good newspaper, now dominated by GOP hacks."

From davenoon's post:

It would be hyperbolic at this point to compare the Geithner plan to the abhorrently bad Defense Department planning for post-war Iraq, but I'm depressed by the fact that it's the first comparison that shot to mind.

Oh, there's no "shot to mind" about it. The "librul" media is deliberately shitting in Obama's punchbowl.

Which part about that do you like best? My favorite is their vow to "renew journalism's commitment to hold those in power accountable," five seconds after they get through protesting that they weren't lapdogs for Bush.

Oh, crap. I just realized that I misread that paragraph that I quoted. It wasn't the "librul" media that was making the comparison, it was davenoon. My bad.

But my point about the "librul" media shitting in Obama's punchbowl is still quite valid.

Agreed. That's how I understood you originally.
