Ombudsman on Vacation?!
This is simply classic.
Read this post by Michelle Malkin.
I wrote an email to the ombudsman of the Washington Post and received:The Washington Post rushes out with a story that GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin “slashed” funding for teen moms. Oh, the inhumanity! Oh, the hypocrisy! Oh, the conservative callousness! One little problem, pointed out by non-deranged blogger Lonewacko:
“Covenant House’s IRS Form 990 (link) shows the funds that Paul Kane describes as “slashed” was over a threefold increase from the government funds they received from all sources in 2006 (FY2006 ending 12/31/06).”Wait a minute. State funding for the teen pregnancy program increased? Well, that doesn’t fit the Christofascist hypocrite/Fertilla the Huntress narrative! What to do? What to do? What say you, WaPo ombudsman?
