I don’t read The Washington Post, once a great newspaper.
Here’s an illustration why I do not, columnist Ruth Marcus’s Emma Sullivan’s potty-mouthed tweet has a lesson for all of us.
The lede:
“Emma Sullivan, you’re lucky you’re not my daughter. (Dangerous sentence, I know: My daughters might agree.)
“If you were my daughter, you’d be writing that letter apologizing to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback for the smartalecky, potty-mouthed tweet you wrote after meeting with him on a school field trip.”
Ruth Marcus sucks and #sheblowsalot.
Yeah, well the important thing – at least for Emma – is that her ACTUAL mother supported her and her right to free speech.
“Anybody who can, at such a young age, prompt such an immediate outpouring of finely honed Beltway stupidity is a young lady on whom we all ought to keep an eye.”
Charles Pierce
I find it funny that Ms. Marcus used the same word to describe Ms. Sullivan that Ms. Sullivan used to describe the governor. But, that’s alright if your a hypocrite..
