We Were There All Along

The Washington Post appears to be trying to learn something from the blogosphere. How else does one explain the fact that they checked the timestamp on a Letter to the Editor? Here's what they have to say to those who would send emails declaring the results of a debate that had yet to happen:

"Now, we love to hear from readers, and we admire the sincerity and passion of anyone who wants to get involved in the political process. But our goal is to present a sampling of genuine reader opinion, not to become one more battlefield in the spin wars raging all around. And we especially like to hear from readers who can think and write for themselves."

The thing is, Posties, bloggers are really just people who are tired of waiting for their letters to be printed. And, that's why most of them are conservatives.
