You do realize that this is an OpEd submitted by Ed Rogers (who does not write for or work at The WP)? The editorial is just the author's opinion and not that of the Washington Post. It is not based on fact. In other words....IT"S FAKE NEWS.
A little about the author: Ed Rogers is a contributor to the PostPartisan blog, a political consultant and a veteran of the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush White Houses and several national campaigns. He is the chairman of the lobbying and communications firm BGR Group, which he founded with former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour in 1991.
