Re: “Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos says opinion pages will defend free market and ‘personal liberties’ ” (Feb. 26, Nation):

Our sympathy goes out to Jeff Bezos, who has seen his influence in the world drop since the co-presidents Mump and Trusk took over the headlines. He has to shape The Washington Post in his own image in order for others to understand his importance.

As for the co-presidents, they are Siamese twins joined at the ego, each one believing he is more powerful and influential than his twin. Pity Mump, pity Trusk, for they will destroy each other, as they will never give up the quest to be No. 1 in the pair.
