Wait... huh? It's seven paragraphs long. How was that miserable son of a bitch even allowed to write for WaPo?

He doesn't write for them. They're only hosting his "editorial" to boost how many people see it. The net effect is more people realizing that he is unfit for public office.

I don't think there's newspaper in the world that would turn down a letter to the editor about X from Y who lost to X in a recent election. In the best case it's food for thought (this is as far as possible from the best case), in the worst case a plurality of their target audience finds it hilarious.
