Former WaTimes’rs Go At It!

We can’t tell if this is funny or pathetic…

In an email obtained by FishbowlDC, former Washington Times national editor Ken Hanner (now at Human Events) takes on former Washington Times reporter George Archibald over why “the Washington Times is no longer a conservative paper”:

George, I noticed in a recent blog you asked:

“Where’s the anger? Where’s the rage?
Who among all the heavily endowed conservative groups – the Heritage Foundation, Cato Institute, and American Enterprise Institute in Washington, D.C., the Manhattan Institute in New York, all the conservative and libertarian groups in California and around the country, are ginning up conservative troops with good speakers for TV-radio, sending out good op-ed pieces to newspapers and magazines, doing all-nighter on all of the above to fight the war we are in against the socialists and collectivist pro-big federal government controlling fellow-travelers?”

Well, George. Wouldn’t the pre-eminent conservative newspaper, The Washington Times, be the most logical one to lead the charge?
Oh, that’s right, they aren’t really conservative any more. Thanks in large part to you. Good work, George.
