January 4th, 2019 4:56 PM
Washington Post fashion critic Robin Givhan was brought in after the House swearing-in to write about fashion -- well, not really. As usual, she used fashion as a subtext for her liberal politics. The new ultraliberal women in the House were all fabulous in their diversity of dress, especially Nancy Pelosi in pink, "like the plumage of a brazen bird, not just to fly with the flock but to lead it…

January 1st, 2019 1:18 PM
On New Year's Eve, The Washington Post published a 2,800-word piece objecting to conservative advocacy by Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The Post would like her to shut up.
Humorist Dave Barry Mocks Media's Obsession with Russia and 2016
December 31st, 2018 11:47 AM
It was a little shocking to peruse humorist Dave Barry's comedic "Year in Review 2018" as the cover story of Sunday's Washington Post Magazine. The paper may have been a little sickened by just how much Dave Barry mocked the media's obsession over Russia and the 2016 election, and their thumping tubs for impeachment. There was a lot of the usual Trump mockery (and some Fox News-as-Trump's-servant…

December 31st, 2018 10:30 AM
What better Christmas present for Washington Post readers could there be? On December 25, 2008, Post writer Eli Saslow gushed over Barack Obama as a “paradigm of a new kind of presidential fitness.” Saslow narrated creepily, “The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week.” Get a room, liberal journalists.

December 27th, 2018 6:07 PM
Here’s a forced example of stupid for you.. Then again, if you’ve been following Mark Hamill’s Twitter page you’ve probably had enough stupid to fit an entire Jedi tome. The insufferable lefty actor behind legendary Star Wars hero Luke Skywalker just declared that the second most evil baddie in the galaxy, Darth Vader, is actually less evil than Donald Trump.
WashPost Stealth Edits Item Attacking Trump After WSJ Calls Them Out
December 27th, 2018 11:57 AM
Talk about an embarrassment for The Washington Post. So would this mean that, on Wednesday, democracy died in darkness? Late Wednesday into Thursday, White House bureau chief/resident snark expert Phil Rucker and colleague Paul Sonne published a piece furthering the liberal media narrative that President Trump was shamed (read: by the press themselves) into visiting troops in combat, but only…
WashPost's Milbank Paints Trump as Soviet 'Man in the High Castle'
December 25th, 2018 7:49 PM
The oppositional ardor that Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank directs at President Donald Trump is never-ending in its silliness. Milbank's latest absurdity is that Trump is a Soviet version of "The Man in the High Castle." In other words he is calling the president a traitor doing the bidding of Russian (not Soviet) leader Vladimir Putin.

WashPost Puff Piece on 'Vice' Crumbles in Socialist Contradictions
December 23rd, 2018 1:23 PM
The Washington Post paints itself as Holding Government Accountable, but it still publishes the most embarrassing laudatory dreck supporting its favorite socialist elites. Freelancer Jeff Weiss -- who notoriously polished Bill Maher's "ideology-free" apple for the Post in 2014 -- penned a tribute with the online headline "Adam McKay went from Ron Burgundy to Dick Cheney, and it actually makes…
'Fashion Critic' or Fan Girl? Givhan Won't Critique Michelle Obama
December 22nd, 2018 8:44 AM
In her column this week, Washington Post Givhan was very reluctant to criticize the, shall-we-say, controversial fashion choices that Michelle Obama made for her book-tour appearance with Sarah Jessica Parker earlier this week...especially the $3,900 thigh-high boots. If a former Republican First Lady had worn them, Givhan would have scolded her for conspicuous consumption.
Stop Wishing Her ‘Merry Christmas,’ You Monsters!
December 21st, 2018 3:00 PM
You have to respect the proficiency and determination of a lefty to get one last whine in before 2018 limps to its end and the new year dawns with all it’s fresh possibilities for new grievances. Julia Ioffe, a correspondent for GQ, is one such intrepid complainer. It seems some people have had the effrontery to wish her a Merry Christmas.
