Obama Arrives at Washington Post to “Cheers”

by Stephan Tawney on January 15, 2009

Bias? What bias? I’m sure that President Bush’s arrival at WaPo would be met with the same reception. If it’s not out of respect for the office, what else is it but political bias on display?

After three and a half  hours at his transition office, PEOTUS obama took another 6 minute ride through washington, arriving at 157 pm at the nondescript soviet-style building at 15th and L street that houses the washington post.

Around 100 people–Post reporters perhaps?–awaited PEOTUS’s arrival, cheering and bobbing their coffee cups.

Pool is holding in a van outside, while Mr obama does his washington post interview, and will exercise enormous restraint by ending report before saying what really thinks about this turn of events.

In related news, the United States Geological Survey detected a minor tremor in the District of Columbia, which it says was sparked by simultaneous thrills going up the legs of the newsroom employees.

Update: Ouch:

Sounds like a dinner party at George Will’s house.

Not undeserving, but ouch.
