I would be shocked Froomkin's pings haven't drastically fallen: those who'd never read him still wouldn't, most who read him for Bush-flaying stopped the day after Obama won, and a significant number who did stay have since quit, repelled by Froomkin's Obama-flaying.
Irony being, if McCain had won Froomkin's site would be profitably pinging, which should remind not just neocons but all rubes everywhere what priorities rule.
(And here is proof of my roobiness, that I'd think neocons would find Froomkin more valuable disillusioning Obama supporters than he was as house liberal.)
(And here is proof of my roobiness: I obsess on this because I remember the civic pride in calling the Washington Post my hometown paper.) Stuff.
The problem is that Froomkin's disillusioning of Obama supporters is grounded in reality, which the neocons have no familiarity with.

Sorry man, the WA Po has already crossed the Roobicon.
My condolences.

I liked Froomkin -- one of the best parts of the Post.
He was axed because he spoke the truth, giving neither Bush nor Obama a free pass. We may be liberals, but we need not be blind sycophants. Froomkin's passing from the OpEd will be sorely missed.
