The participation of the Washington Post makes this story exponentially more interesting than it would be otherwise. Their "journalistic ethics" (or more accurately the lack of them) are on display for all to see. With the problems the NYT has been having, the WaPo may be on the way to being the most influential paper in the country.

The WP may or may not get a black eye out of this, but I don't think it will be for logging into FR, even using someone else's ID. If they get a black eye, it will be for acting in cahoots with a Dem operative to ambush a GOP staffer in an entrapment scheme.
The login aspect to it is only a compenent of the overall picture. I imagine FR management has little fondness for the Washington Post after their earlier stunt, and they could make news at any time by confirming the identity of MD4Bush, which they could. We all know, but they could put the nail in the coffin.
One wonders how long the guilty will be left to squirm.

The WaPost has admitting using the userid and on-screen name of someone who publicly claimed that Senator Mikulski is a lesbian.
The WaPost has schemed to publish private emails, and the WaPost has falsely attributed rumor-mongering comments made by their on-screen user name as if they were instead made by a GOP poster (NCPAC).

We have seen the same side of them in this incident as they showed with the infamous Pentagon Papers incident.
