David Broder is out at the Washington Post

[redstateblues]

What took them so long? His bland Repug-lite pap has been boring readers for years.

1. Link??? This is great news. He's so Inside-the-Beltway he's completely out of it.

Next they can get rid of Gerson, Novak and Krauthammer. At least get a right winger with SOME credibility.

It will only be a start, for what was once a great paper.

If this is true, I'm a happy guy. Recommending it anyway.

6. He's New York Times. And they have the worst of the worst - Kristol.

The Torquemada of the New York Times.

He should be burned at the stake for the deaths he has caused. Hell, for his incompetence as a writer alone, he deserves to be drawn and quartered.

10. "a right winger with SOME credibility"... Like who?

:crazy:

11. You're mean.

I was just being hypothetical. Of course none exist.

But given quantum physics, it IS theoretically possible.

12. right wingers with credibility don't exist

just like right wingers with any decency, intelligence, humanity don't exist.

7. I've watched broder....

....on Potato Head's program....a true system shill who'd utter implicit warnings in ominous overtones....a regular limp-dick....

....if he had an ounce of compassion for the public, he'd retire....

8. About time. He's hated internally as well. rec'd

9. I cancelled when they hired Gerson. 16 op-ed writers. Two women. 'Nuff said. nt

[mistertrickster]

14. Thank God. They called him "the Dean." The Dean of Dull maybe. nt

[librechik]

15. retired in pay grade only --will still write twice a wk WaPo column for free

because as we all know the world would grind to a halt without his ever valuable opinion.

must I?
