Your Liberal
Media at work: the fair and balanced WaPo brings you Red America [DCOW
], in the interest of giving a voice to the tragically underrepresented Right-Wingnut perspective.
Jeff Goldstein [DCOW
], who in his spare time fantasizes about molesting his dog, is, in the words of Mike Tyson, "estatic":
Run by RedState co-founder Ben Domenech, former Capitol Hill political journalist, contributing editor to National Review Online, and—after 9/11, the youngest political appointee of President George W. Bush, the blog promises to provide some ideological balance...
The good folks at the WaPo even took time out for a brainstorming session with Ben:
During the discussions about the launch of this new blog, the good folks at washingtonpost.com spent far too much time in sessions with markers and whiteboard, trying to settle on a name for the column. The suggestions were all over the map - but one suggestion provided a reminder of the sociopolitical divide in this country. "What about 'Red Dawn'?" said one helpful editor.
"Well, only if you want to make people think it was a gun blog," I said, to puzzled faces.
"Red Dawn? You must know it - the greatest pro-gun movie ever? I mean, they actually show the jackbooted communist thugs prying the guns from cold dead hands."
Any red-blooded American conservative, even those who hold a dim view of Patrick Swayze's acting "talent," knows a Red Dawn reference.
Sweet. Now, I would like to ask the good folks at WaPo.com if they're going to give Jane Hamsher a column too, you know in the interest of fairness and balance?
It looks like the WaPo Blog has re-instituted open comments, so I think I will pose the question. But I'll be careful to follow the rules: no cussin' and you have to use your real fake name.
