Solipsistic Scandal

Speaking of the New York Post, John Podhoretz writes that it's not enough to get rid of Raines, and Boyd, Bragg and Blair. The rot comes from the top, and there's nothing to indicate that the basic arrogance, and ongoing delusion that the paper is objective, will go away with them.

I'm reminded (as I often am) by a Simpsons episode. It's one of the Halloween shorts, in which Mr. Burns is a vampire (as opposed to most episodes, in which he's merely a blood sucking parasite). After putting the stake through him, they realize that it wasn't enough--they had to kill the head vampire (which turned out to be Marge).

The board of the Paper Formerly Known As The Paper Of Record still has to kill their head vampire.
