Washingtonian Magazine's Preppy Editor Faces Wrath and Ridicule of Local Press

Washingtonian Editor Garrett Graff has fallen out of the good graces of local writers after suggesting that Washington doesn’t have voting rights because it doesn’t have more esteemed elected officials. This came after a Saturday voting rights rally at the White House.

Graff (pictured here at left) wrote on Twitter: “Congress might be more willing to give DC more rights if DC elected people who seemed more worthy of power.”

This incited DCist’s Martin Austermuhle (pictured here at far right) to go after him on his blog and to question him, which, in turn, WaPo ran on its online opinion pages Thursday.
