If Washington Post Owner Jeff Bezos…

… had an itch to trick progressives into displaying for all the world to clearly see their Everestian sense of irresponsible entitlement to other people’s money and minds, he could not have done better than to make the announcement that he made on Wednesday that the opinion page of the Post would from here on in endorse “two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.”

It’s astonishing how Bezos’s announcement prompted so many progressives to intellectually disrobe themselves in public, thus allowing ordinary men and women to behold beyond doubt their chutzpah and juvenile vanity. And their greed (‘How dare you not pay me to write what I wish to write regardless of whether or not you and actual and potential readers of the Post like what I write!’).

Even if Bezos were today to secretly table his planned change, Wednesday’s announcement has by itself done a great public service by inciting entitled progressives to reveal in living color and with sharp lines their true nature.
