Hilarious #onion parody of Washington Post article. Wait … it's not a parody? http://t.co/JwrrlGSW11

Scandal, what scandal? The Washington Post is in rabid lapdog mode today, hyping a piece about White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler. She’s one of President Obama’s top aides at the center of the IRS witch hunt scandal and Benghazi cover-up. So what do you really need to know about her?
This.
Read what @PhilipRucker and I wrote about Kathy Ruemmler, who went from an outsider to Obama's chief protector: http://t.co/KGjtVB7Zv8

And then, read about Ruemmler's fabulous shoes: http://t.co/JjiEgGutjT

It may say more about Washington thanWhite House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler that she’s known in the West Wing for her fabulous shoes.
No, dear. This pabulum says far more about you and the comPost.
War on women, anyone?
Sexist puff pieces like this say nothing about Washington, but they say much about @eilperin & @washingtonpost. http://t.co/xdTOK6aGA5

Today in sexist media: the WaPo focuses on a female White House counsel's shoes instead of her work. http://t.co/YCRUqHYVzM

WaPo proves women in power can still be marginalized down to footwear. Shallow and embarrassing: @washingtonpost: http://t.co/oAXKyiJIGX

This week WashPo told us about Carney's favorite band http://t.co/1IIcteGBFR and Ruemmler's shoes http://t.co/fuGXvT031D
Great job, WashPo.— Jessica Heddings (@JessicaHeddings) May 27, 2013
It’s Pulitzer-worthy. If by Pulitzer, you mean the late fashion designer Lily Pulitzer.
@eilperin This article has Pulitzer written all over it. #Lily@TwitchyTeam

Heh:
When Kathryn Ruemmler resigns over Obama's scandals @WashingtonPost will say it's "to spend more time with her shoes http://t.co/KQ6Pnzacef

Congrats, Washington Post. Your investigative shoe fetish has united left, right, and center against you.
Saying @whitehouse counsel Kathryn Ruemmler is "known for her shoes" is akin to remarking that @BarackObama is known for his jump shot.
