A. Because He Blogrolled Me

Posted on | April 6, 2010 | 10 Comments

Q. Why is David Weigel not a total douchebag?

Hits is hits, my friends. So when Weigel writes something that infuriates you (as he most certainly will) please try to keep in mind that a guy who gets a job at a big MSM operation and still blogrolls me cannot be a total douchebag . . . 99.44% maybe, but not total.

UPDATE: John Tabin assesses the WaPo’s hiring of Weigel and our friend Lene Johansen adds in the comments:

Dave is a reporter. In a city full of opiners, it is very valuable to have someone who goes places, talks to people, and write about what he learned, rather than sitting behind a desk thinking he knows what is going on.

Amen to that. As a matter of fact, I’ll be hanging out with Weigel in New Orleans at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference starting tomorrow.

    I’m trying to make something of that subtle Ivory soap reference. Can I get some help here?
