UPDATE: The Washington Post describes this assault and battery as Etheridge “acting strangely”. (Via Althouse.)
UPDATE: Jim Geraghty:
The Washington Post, the newspaper than mentioned “Macaca” in approximately 100 articles, op-eds, editorials about the 2006 Virginia Senate race between George Allen and Jim Webb, watches the video of Rep. Bob Etheridge, North Carolina Democrat, physically assaulting a questioner and concludes it warrants three paragraphs on page C3, in the Reliable Source gossip column. . .
This is not even bias anymore; this is information management, designed to ensure those who pick up the print version of the Post never encounter what the blogosphere is buzzing about.
It’s sad to see this; until recently the Post was among the most respectable of the mainstream papers.
UPDATE: It seems that Etheridge has something of a history in this regard.
