I’m glad the Washington Post has America’s back.
For $25,000 to $250,000, The Washington Post is offering lobbyists and association executives off-the-record, nonconfrontational access to “those powerful few” — Obama administration officials, members of Congress, and the paper’s own reporters and editors.
Where would we be if the Washington Post didn’t look out for us? Who would ask our government officals tough questions like: “Why are we spending billions of dollars overseas when millions of Americans are going to bed hungry?” ,and “Why are we the only industrialized country in the world that doesn’t provide universal health care?” ,and “Why are we spending $1 billion dollars on an embassy in Islamabad?” ,and ”Why are taxpayers bailing out Wall Street CEOs when they’re the ones who created this mess? And for my follow up, why are those very same CEOs allowed high ranking government jobs?”
We would be up shit river without life jackets. This is why we need to bailout the newspaper industry. We need these journalist getting to the truth. Because if they don’t, who will?
Not you and me. We’re too busy. We’ve got full time jobs, and families to take care of. We’ve got ball games to watch and celebrity gossip to catch up on. We’ve got beers to drink and crappy reality shows to watch. Plus, we’ve got church on Sundays.
So keep up the good work Washington Post. Without you, we’d be fucked.
Side note: How cool would it be if we were allowed to use “off the record” like our government officials? We’d never get into trouble. We could tell that hot chick we banged last night, “Yeah, I had a great time last night too. But off the record, you might want to go see a doctor because I’ve got a serious case of herpes.” And we could tell our boss what we really think about him/her, “I love your new car boss. But off the record, I think a retarded child could run the company better than your fat ass. Plus, I raw dogged your daughter last night, so you might want to take her to the doctor because I’ve got massive warts on my dick.”
Goddammit, I picked the wrong career.
