What made the blue columnist finally see red

Two years ago, I spotted Washington Post columnist E.J. Dionne exiting our plane at DCA. “I never stop celebrities,” I told him, “but in my world of journalism, you’re a rock star!”

Blushing, he tried turning the conversation back to us. We weren’t budging. Joyfully regaling us about that day’s news, he left us with a story.

“You know, I’m a New England Patriots fan, so when Tom Brady got ensnared in Deflategate, I finally understood Fox News,” the legendary liberal mused. “I really didn’t care what the facts were – I just knew how I wanted it to end.”
