A half-day after writing a front-page story suggesting Bob McDonnell opposed the reappointment of a female Circuit Court judge out of homophobia, the Washington Post notices two prominent Democrats opposed the reappointment, too. Apparently it only took a few hours of the Republican Party of Virginia screaming bloody murder for the Post editors to relent and believe that the inconvenient truth warranted a blog post.

I wrote earlier in the day I won’t be buying the Post any more; unbidden, three readers have written in to say that today’s story has been the straw that broke the camel’s back; they’ve canceled their subscriptions. I hope that front-page article was worth it for the Post.
