Something strange has been happening at the Washington Post the last few days.  They're giving very prominent coverage to the smears of Obama's VP committee.

They posted the stuff about Johnson high on the front page of the website.  Now they're picking up conservative attacks on another member of the committee.  Again, prominently on the front page.

This is a attack clearly orchestrated and spoon fed to the media by conservative partisans.  Why is the WaPo so willing to run with it?
