correction to your headline: the “WashPo” did not “admit” anything in this column
This is an OPINION piece by one guy, Eugene Robinson
It in no way represents any official stance of the paper, it’s one guy
This is a pet peeve of mine, I can’t count how many times various FReepers say “wow, the NY Times said THAT?” or “look the WaPo just agreed with us, finally”
Opinion columns are just that, opinion pieces, generally by one person or sometimes two...... they are not masthead editorials making some official statement for the paper.

Now you're right. The more appropriate caption would have been--"Liberal Columnist writing in the Washington Post Acknowledges That Which We All Have Known About Governor Sarah Palin." You're right.
I regret having misled you as to the content of the article by the caption. It's 1:30EST- must be getting a little punchy.
