Howell's Got More Advice

First, Washington Post Ombudsman Deborah Howell said in her Sunday column that, if Dana Milbank wants to trot around wearing funny hats, he ought to call himself an opinion columnist. Now, on Howell’s “omblog” (posted on the Post’s internal bulletin board), she says that even opinion columnists shouldn’t wear funny hats.

Boy, journalism is fun, isn’t it?

I’m generally old-fashioned here. I don’t think reporters ought to put on costumes and go on comedy shows.
