Washington Post hires conservative blogger
By Alex Pareene

The Washington Post has finally achieved online balance, by hiring a conservative blogger to make up for those two liberal bloggers they have, who make up for the majority of their Op-Ed page. Fred Hiatt is thrilled to announce that Commentary's Jennifer Rubin will be launching a blog next month with a "conservative perspective" on "conservative policy-making and Republican campaigns, pundits and politicians."
....

In the coming debate at the Post between the neocons -- who urge immediate military action against Iran -- and the moderates -- who have reluctantly come to the tragic conclusion that military action against Iran is the only viable option -- Rubin will join the neocons.

Thanks to DCRTV for the tip.

1. Roy Edroso at alicublog said this about Ms. Rubin

"In short, the woman's so full of shit I'm surprised she doesn't explode. Her fans across wingnuttia will enjoy reading her as they scream about how they can't trust the WaPo."

Another brilliant hire by Fred Hiatt, who plumbs the depths of the conservative intellectual swamp to dredge up the creepiest, most loathesome creatures imaginable (Remember Ben Domenech? Hiatt hopes you don't.) and splatters them across the Op-Ed page.

2. Yet another reason to keep ignoring the Post (R)

Which is on a race to the bottom of the RepubliCon cesspool with Rev. Moon's (R) Washington Times (R) and Fox 'news' (R).
