Wait a sec... the one I read was from Bloomberg. Howell's is still crap.

And back to her little graphic:  Here's a comment from one lukasiak on Ververs' Public Eye.

Mr. Ververs, neither you nor anyone else "knows" that Abramoff directed campaign funds to any Democrats. DIRECTED is the key word here.... the one document that has been cited by Howell says that the Coushatta tribe was supposed to give $2000 to Democrats Jean Carnahan and Max Cleland, and $5000 to Tom Daschle. The FEC filings show that Daschle received NOTHING, Carnahan recieved NOTHING, and Max Cleland got $500.

Meanwhile, every Republican incumbent running for re-election on the list got at least $1000....most got $2K or more, for a total of over $15,000 to GOP candidates.

In other words, the "graphic" cited by Howell would have you believe that Tom Daschle and Jean Carnahan got money from the Coushatta tribe in 2002 -- AND THAT IS NOT TRUE according to the FEC.

Explain to me how a document, supposedly demonstrating how campaign funds were directed to Democrats that is COMPLETELY at odds with the money actually contributed to the Democrats that are listed, fits with "what news organizations know." 

I thought the Democrats were a terrorist related group, at least I heard it on MSM, Fox or somewhere.

Why would a God fearing ole' Republican Hitler youth and buddy of the greatest con-man in America, Karl Rove, be supporting flip-flopping Freedom Fries hating liberals?

No, it is who did he sleep with in the Lincoln Beedroom?  You know they had this in thing with gay male prostitutes.....

Howell is not the impartial person you assume she is. While editor of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, she recast the paper as a conservative paper by bringing in well-known conservative activist D.J. Tice as an editorial writer, conservative Ron Clark as editorial-page editor and hateful nostalgia monkey James Lileks as a columnist. When she took over at Newhouse, she brought with Lileks and installed him as featured columnist.

I meant Abramoff, not Abrahamoff.

Re: Views her role as chief apologist, and is more part of a mutual butt kissing clique with their reporters and editors.------------
I think it's quite difficult to foster and exercise open and critical enquiry and evaluation in just about any paid position, unless you make that a condition of your employment contract. 

Re: She refused to admit a mistake:
----------------
Um! This is difficult for most of us. In DC though, I gather that you have to demonstrate some butt kissing, sleeping around, and towing the line, or you may find yourself getting kicked around, fired, eating alone, and gaining or losing a good deal of weight. 
The good thing is you are bound to spend more time in a sober state. 

Ms. Howell was too stupid and overwhelmed by her position to see that she was being stupid.

I simply can't credit that. The notion that a republican pioneer, a guy who had made his way up  through the college republican wars to become an influential lobbyist would give to both parties doesn't pass the laugh test.  The idea the K-Street project was something other than exactly what Tom Delay laid out--a demand that lobbyists be republicans if they wanted access--is something she doesn't understand is not  viable. 

She's in the tank.  She's not being stupid, or ignorant or not getting it. She's in the tank. She would rather support a meme that lends "balance" than report the truth.   

Silly us.  If only we understood what Deborah Howell's job description was, this controversy would go away. 

It's our fault, because when we see the the title, "ombudsman", we fall into the trap of thinking that means advocate.  In particular, reader advocate.  What a bunch of doofuses we are.  As the Washington Post makes clear, that is not her job.  Here is how they describe it. "In that capacity, she promotes public understanding of the newspaper and journalism. She also writes a weekly column."

As you see, she is actually an advocate for the Post.  And because journalism is, you know, really hard, it's also her job to explain it to us rubes.

Clearly, her column lives up to those standards.  I know that after reading it, I understand that the Post is a worthless rag, and that journalism is pretty much FUBAR.  So let's cut Debbie a break, OK?

Dear Ms. Howell,

I just read your article "The Firestorm Over My Column," and it is quite disheartening to see that you just don't get it.

I don't know much about you, other than the fact that you write for one of the country's leading newspapers, and that you wrote said firestorm-igniting column, but your background and history are simply not relevant to my opinion of the whole incident. If anything, your lengthy experience in the news business makes this incident less excusable.

By your own admission your wording was sloppy. Given the importance of your position, given the recent history of this country and the ignominious role that journalists have played in this history, given the well-known fact that the Republican strategy to deal with the Abramoff debacle hinges on convincing the public that the problem is a bipartisan one, given their proven ability to distort the printed record, given all this your gaffe was, at best, a case of incompetence so gross that I think that you do deserve to be fired.

But the fact that in your latest column you gloat over the immunity that your contract gives you makes one wonder whether you deserve the benefit of this most charitable interpretation of the facts, which makes it even clearer that dismissing you would be entirely justified.

KJ

I don't think Ms. Howell gets it, yet.

Get Ms. Howell a job description.  I wrote her a polite e-mail reminding her that she was the readers' advocate.  She does not seemed to have grasped that, even yet.  Her admitting a mistake/apology was grudging.  As I told her, people are forgiving if you step up and say, "I was wrong; I am sorry."

I sent WaPo this:

   When Deborah Howell blurred the lines between fact and spin, it was a forgivable sin. Just go get all of the documentation together, forgo any conclusion/spin, and set the record straight. Instead she resorted to the type of semantics 'tap-dance' and 'leaps of logic' that you were all over Clinton for, and his regress was of much less dire consequence to our Democracy. Then, when "We the People" have finally had enough, when a desire for the truth has finally outweighed even our own apathy, some rise up in justifiable anger...only to be shut down and labeled as "left-wing fanatics" or "liberals", as if the two were equivalent.

    To this day I have yet to see any evidence that Abramoff contributed to, or directed contributions to, any Democrats. Prior to K street the tribes gave about equally to both parties, so their continued contributions to Democrats is hardly evidence of malfeasance. So where's your evidence? If anything, given the known practices of K street, I find it difficult to believe that Abramoff knowingly steered any money to Democrats.

   It's time for WaPo to make a decision: Are you a member of the "Fourth Estate", an essential part of our Democracy that holds those in power accountable? Or are you just another business, seeking only the highest profitability and access to power, consequences be damned?

A troubled nation awaits your response.

Sincerely,

I'm not into conspiracy theories.  But there is something very odd about Howell's position.  And this comes on top of the Woodward crap.  Where is the Washington Post of the old days?  Do they have no honor left?

The whole Washington-coverage octopus -- a few folks exepted (Thank You, Knight Ridder) practices journamalism the same way I did chemistry in high school.

Everyone remembers that the neatest, highest graded results were got on lab reports by drawing your curves before you plot your data. And you could really ring the bell by pulling the value in question out of the Standard Handbook. Then you knew it was the right number.

Once the line is drawn -- that Abramoff's leveraged buy-out of the congressional Republican party was actually a bi-partisan bribefest -- then it's easy to see where the data points have to go -- some Democrats just have to lie along that line, even if the experiment showed otherwise. So Howells goes and puts those points in, too.

When I did it in grade 10, I did it for a number of reasons -- I was lazy, my lab technique sucked, I wanted good grades for no real effort, all the other kids were doing it.

And none of those reasons reflected well on me.

But the Howells of the world can do to politics what I couldn't do to chemistry.

And the reasons are the same -- they are lazy, their lab technique sucks, they want good grades for no real effort, and all the other kids are doing it.

Which doesn't reflect any better of them.

I had the good sense not to become a chemist. Maybe some of these folks are in the wrong field, too.

What is librium?  An anti-depressent? But I meant lithium, the stuff schizophrenics take.

好~!
