BREAKING NEWS! Washington Post takes careful aim at other foot.


Oh, this should be good:

Washington Post searching for bloggers from the right and left

This time around the Washington Post plans to hire two bloggers for its Web site.

The paper’s ombudsman, Deborah Howell, has informed RAW STORY that Jim Brady, executive editor of washingtonpost.com, is looking for a liberal blogger, along with a conservative one, to replace Ben Domenech who resigned after only three days of blogging, when his earlier writings were discovered by mostly liberal bloggers to be racially insensitive and – in multiple cases – plagiarized.

As for the contenders, let me make a suggestion or two. From the left, Glenn Greenwald of Unclaimed Territory, winner of the Koufax Award for "Best New Blog of 2005." I'm pretty sure Glenn would do a bang-up job representing the left side of the blogosphere.

And from the right? Oh, man, that is so a no-brainer. One can always dream, can't one?
