Bless Katrina vanden Heuvel’s precious heart.
In a side-splitting effort to make Bob Woodward “regret” crossing the White House, vanden Heuvel outed her “smart” interns as low-information grunts who “have no idea who Woodward is.” He’s, like, totes irrelevant and probably as old as that Constitution thingy.
Genius:
Smart @thenation interns & young folks have no idea who Woodward is but dc establishment freaked about his critique of WH & sequester.

Well, yeah, it’s not like Bob Woodward was a fixture on Journolist or something. That’s where the true rock stars of journalism did their most enduring investigative work.

Twitter responded to the esteemed Nation editor with a hilarious and well-deserved thrashing for her celebration of ignorance.

Apparently neither does Sperling “@freddoso: .@KatrinaNation Your interns don't know who Woodward is?”

In @katrinanation's attempt to zing Woodward, she zinged her own mag and interns. Derpiest of derps.

Ouch!
Any response, Katrina?
Clarification: @thenation interns know who Woodward was but have far clearer memory of his establishment role post-Watergate.
— Katrina vandenHeuvel (@KatrinaNation) February 28, 2013
@SooperMexican They're real smart & know of political abuses galore but Woodward 2 them is establishment journalist,not Watergate muckraker,
— Katrina vandenHeuvel (@KatrinaNation) February 28, 2013
Real smart.
.@KatrinaNation lol… you said they had "no idea" who he was… amazing you'd praise them for their professional ignorance…
— el Sooper ن (@SooperMexican) February 28, 2013
Hey, come on twitter folks: ace @thenation interns know much but know Woodward as establishment reporter not Watergate muckraker.Take that.
— Katrina vandenHeuvel (@KatrinaNation) February 28, 2013
Take that … interns.
But anyway, back to Katrina fulfilling her sacred role as one of Obama’s bridesmaids:
Aren't there bigger scandals Bob Woodward could muckrake — besides WH moving "goal posts" of a manufactured crisis?
