Richard Cohen


Richard Cohen is a columnist for the Washington Post, and he's getting a lot of grief for this paragraph in his op ed yesterday...

People with conventional views must repress a gag reflex when considering the mayor-elect of New York — a white man married to a black woman and with two biracial children. (Should I mention that Bill de Blasio's wife, Chirlane McCray, used to be a lesbian?)
If you've ever wondered how something like that doesn't get chopped out during the editing process, you aren't alone. Jason Linkins at the Huffington Post points this out brilliantly today in his column.
