Worried that WaPo won’t provide its daily dose of wankery without Karl Rove in the White House?

Fear not, for I bring you tidings of great . . . erm . . . jackassery, maybe?

This is actually a few days old, but sadly, I’ve been too busy to post.  I did, however, have the presence of mind to grab a couple quick screencaps.  From the main page of Sunday’s WaPo:

 

Yeah, ut’s a thumb; click on it to see it at normal size.  Pay particular attention to the caption underneath the first full hed, center column.  I’ll wait. 

Uh-huh.  That’s it.  Yep.

"White House used terror threat to resurrect Cold War-era wiretap powers over Democrat objections."

"Democrat objections???"

Freddie, boy, what the fuck is that?  I mean, I realize you’ve been a sell-out for, oh, like forever, but on the fucking front page?

No, Freddie, it’s not because you didn’t have the space.  That’s called "kerning," and your copy folks know how to use it.   So you could’ve said, oh, say, "Democratic objections" - as in, you know, the actual name of the party.  If the "-ic" was too much for your pearl-clutching little self to handle, you could’ve said, say, "Democrats’ objections." 

But you know what, Freddie?  None of that matters.  I’m not fucking impressed.  Because on the jump page, you got it right:

 

Exact same goddamn caption. Repeat after me:  Exact same goddamn caption.  With one glaring exception:  "Democratic" is spelled correctly, Freddie.

So again, I ask:  What the fuck is this?  

I know the answer, of course:  It’s your regular Sunday Valentine to Bush, Cheney, Rove, et al. 

I await with bated breath* your display of even-handed objectivity, iin which you caption a Sunday front-page hed with a reference to the "Repubs."

*Not so much.  I’d prefer to live a little while longer.
