You're Too Good for WaPo, Gene

Much as I hate even acknowleding the existence of the repug-fellating, Froomkin-firing, waste-of-dead-trees-AND-electrons Washington Post, this is too good to ignore.

Eugene Robinson, one of the few real writers left at WaPo (no, Ezra Klein, you are NOT a real writer), has written a truly wonderful column on Roman Polanski. In this age of unlimited online space, the art of covering a subject fully and concisely in 800 words, in which every single word must pull its weight and do the work of 10, few masters remain. Robinson is one of them.

Read slowly. Savor. Pass it on.
