The New (I think it’s new) Washpost feature “Right Matters A Conversation about Conservatism with Ramesh Ponnuru” is super annoying.
Today’s conversation thread is fronting the Rush Limbaugh excuse regarding his claim that “phony soldiers” are the cause of media reports that Iraq is a disaster and the military is unhappy. Short version of the excuse is, “I swear I meant one particular fake soldier, although I said ’soldiers’ and didn’t mention that particular solider until a minute or two later.”
The most annoying part is that description of the feature was on website front page.
Despite what Media Matters and Harry Reid say, Rush Limbaugh never called veterans “phony soldiers”.
Which isn’t really true. You read about it here
Anyway this is all lead up to saying the Wash Post leadership is really clearly going to the conservative dark side in a pretty clear way. I think I’m far from alone among WashPost readers in thinking that have a little links to right wing lies front and center is just awful.

I want to comment on McCain goes to the dark side. how can I get to that story comments?
The ‘Right Matters’ feature is basically a blog. Part of what bugged about the above passage is that even though it appeared on the Website front page, the headline changes when you click on the feature so there’s no record of it being there the next day.
The feature itself isn’t easily search able and typically it’s hard to Google because Ponnuru hardly discusses anything that hasn’t a few other conservatives blogs first. If you clicked back to Oct 3 of 2007 you could probably find the article I’m referring to.
