When you write as many words as a blogger or newspaper columnist does, you’re bound to write something monumentally stupid from time to time. The difference between the two, however, is the multiple layers of editors employed by newspapers. Of course, over the past few years those editors have increasingly found themselves getting unemployment checks and it hurts the credibility of people like The Washington Post’s E.J. Dionne. (via Best of the Web Today)

It's not surprising that left-liberal Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne sides with unions over taxpayers. This passage from his column yesterday is somewhat surprising, however, for Dionne's ignorance about basic U.S. law:

Last week [Gov. Scott] Walker signed into law a bill that will require a two-thirds supermajority in the legislature, or a statewide referendum, to raise income, sales or corporate franchise taxes. Imagine if President Obama had insisted that a two-thirds majority be required to repeal his health-care law?

In fact, Obama is insisting that a two-thirds majority is required to repeal ObamaCare. Hasn't Dionne ever heard of the presidential veto?

Don’t bother a liberal pundit with facts when there’s a political point to be made!
