An open letter to the Washington Post Ombudsman, Deborah Howell, who, in a surprising moment of candor, seems to have realized that her paper has been covering up for THE ONE. She seemed to be proud to make a self critical analysis at this late date, never mentioning the disgusting results of her papers failure to do even the slightest investigation of this Chicago thug, like she wanted credit for this epiffany.
Dear Washington Post Ombudsman, I'm SHOCKED, SHOCKED...
...that you would actually admit what all good Americans have known for two years - you people are liars, and did everything you could to get him elected, knowing nothing abut his truley unsavory past.
Do you think by admiting this now, you regain some sense of respect? In the words of that great thinker, Tony Soprano, "FUGGETTABOUTIT!" Your disrespect for the people, your abrogatting your responsibility to act as a check against just this occurance, your helping elect a Chicago thug, and I say that with all the connotations attached, he is no better then a union thug of the past, (o wait, no secret vote for unions anymore, the union thugs are back), prove that you should just fold the paper or fire the editors that allowed you to sink to the level you seem to have just discovered, before even thinking of regaining some credibility.
Are you now going to look into this mans past for real, like who paid for his education, (Harvard, specifically), his trips to Pakistan, his real birthplace, (I especially look forward to the interview with his grandmother, who insists she was at his birth in KENYA!), or his Indonesian citizenship, necessary for him to have lived there and gone to the muslim school, so that you can destroy this insult to capitalism and American individualism and seem like the hero in the end?
Your admission today makes you look twice as corrupt as we knew you were.
Did they hire you today? Where the hell were you for the past two years?
You should have gone with the old adage, "better to remain silent and be thought a fool, then to speak and remove all doubt."
