[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The funny thing is that Dave Wiegel was already forced to resign from the Washington Post after just three months (in 2010) for writing unprofessional content.   I guess the WaPo didn't learn its lesson.

David Weigel, who was hired by The Washington Post to blog about conservatives, resigned Friday after leaked online messages showed him disparaging some Republicans and commentators in highly personal terms.

Weigel, whose tenure lasted three months, apologized Thursday for writing on a private e-mail exchange that Matt Drudge should "handle his emotional problems more responsibly and set himself on fire." He also mocked Ron Paul, the Texas congressman, by referring to the "Paultard Tea Party."

I posted days ago about this same issue. It show gross immaturity and poor judgement that he tweets all of his idiotic thoughts. It’s only sort of excusable if he’s 23 and fresh out of school. But as a grown adult? Wapo should be embarrassed.[/quote]

Yeah.  That makes the Post look pretty dumb. Wiegel did something similar being nasty about conservatives in 2010 and was forced to resign.  [/quote]

Actually it makes the Post look pretty sexist.  It’s not ok to bash conservatives but it’s fine to bash women?[/quote]
