Over the weekend, Dave Weigel resigned as WaPo's house chronicler of conservatives after revelations of his antipathy toward the people he was covering. Tonight brings us the spectacle of Ross Douthat, an ostensibly conservative columnist at the New York Times. Appearing on MSNBC's Ed Schultz show, Douthat proffered precisely zero criticism of anyone or anything liberal. But he did manage to mock Mike Huckabee as "passive-aggressive." For good measure, Douthat suggested that "right-wing" people who question Barack Obama's place of birth are too dense to realize that Hawaii is a state of the union.
The Nation's Chris Hayes subbed for Schultz tonight, and he didn't have to strain to elicit criticism of conservatives from Douthat. After playing a clip of Huckabee stating the apparent fact that he polls better than other Republicans against Obama, Douhat opined.

Who knew that Hawaii was one of the 57 states?
Who knew that a legit Barack Obama Birth Certificate has surfaced in Hawaii?
His replacement as house “conservative” will be Helen Thomas.
Thanks for the information. I’ve never heard of him before yesterday.
So they feel totally immune on this subject?
