We have seen the future of The Washington Post…and it’s two dudes and a webcam. Dana Milbank and Chris Cillizza took a lot of heat for their so-unfunny-it-might-be-performance-art video series called “Mouthpiece Theater,” particularly a recent piece where Milbank implied the Secretary of State is a “mad bitch.” Brilliant, right? These no-production-value pieces have been widely criticized for having all the charm, wit and insight of a frathouse open mic night. It’s as if, the critics cry …

You win! The show you skewered is dead. Thank you for your service to our media environment.

so awesome…

This is the kind of video that could drive somebody to suicide.. if they happened to work at the Washington Post. Trenchant as hell, man.

There’s a word I’m looking for to describe this…something like: “incisive or keen, as language or a person; caustic; cutting; vigorous; effective; energetic; clearly or sharply defined; clear-cut; distinct.
Nope, never mind, it’s gone…

So brilliant that I cannot even say that “words cannot describe” how brilliant
August 7th, 2009 @8:16 pm
Whatever, Mrs. Cillizza.

Trenchant as hell. Fuck off Milbank.

This is brilliant- I’ve been waiting YEARS for someone to take down the Post like this. Please, please make the next installment Jackson Diehl and his reign of neocon fundamentalist terror over in editorial.

journalism is dead!!!

Spot-on!

Why oh why can’t negative stars exist to cancel out this rating? Unbelievable piece of sophomoric trash.
August 7th, 2009 @8:16 pm
LOL, fuck the mainstream media.

I haven’t purchased or read the Wa Post since they started shilling for Bush in 2000. Journalism is a corporate product with no concern for the public unless it means their advertising gets pulled.
Don’t let Congress limit access to the Internet – our only partially uncensored media.

The dude on the left now has mad cow disease.
August 7th, 2009 @8:16 pm
Weep for the state of journalism.
August 7th, 2009 @8:16 pm
Lol. WaPo pulled the video.
August 7th, 2009 @8:16 pm
Thank you.
August 7th, 2009 @8:16 pm
Brilliant. Well-played, sirs!

f’cking brilliant!

Washington Post wopo – the Newspaper of Record for DC lobbyists and the CIA.
As Casey CIA director said, you could buy a Washington Post Reporter for less than than the price of a DC call girl.
Who does “wopo” think they are kidding? They literally just got caught 4 months ago selling “access” to the highest paying lobbyists.
“Wopo” = Whores, and they are getting more “bargain” by the day!

So funny! The taglines for wapo were awesome.
