Washington Post criticizes Barack Obama as a “political messiah come to deliver the nation from evil”

Even liberal writer Eugene Robinson sounds like he's resigned from the Barack Obama Fan Club

You might wonder what Barack Obama, Sarah Palin and Scott Brown have in common. Well, fear not because the Washington Post’s Eugene Robinson is about to tell you:

When I heard Scott Brown, the newly elected senator from Massachusetts, describe himself as a “Scott Brown Republican,” I groaned. It sounded as if he’s coming to Washington to be part of the problem, not part of the solution.

We don’t need another knight in shining armor, don’t want another political messiah come to deliver the nation from evil. We’ve already got one in the White House and one in Alaska ready to ride her snowmobile into town and save the day.

Now hold on just a darn minute, Eugene. Did you just ever so subtly sneak a criticism of Barack Obama into your criticism of Scott Brown? Quick. Someone follow Robinson out to his car in the parking lot at the WaPo. Let us know if he has one of those “Obamessiah” bumper stickers on his car.

We’re not sure which is funnier: The concept of a liberal WaPo writer criticizing Barack Obama by using conservative terminology or a liberal WaPo writer criticizing Scott Brown’s performance a week before he even takes office.

Take  your choice.
