WAPO reporter Joel Achenbach suspended for 'inappropriate workplace conduct.




WaPo reporter Joel Achenbach once wrote that Hillary Clinton "needs a radio-controlled shock collar so that aides can zap her when she starts to get screechy."

He was just suspended for 'inappropriate workplace conduct.'

Noticing a pattern yet...?

Because I somehow doubt he'll be totally reformed of inappropriate behavior against women in 3 months.

So it appears the punishment is fitting. Well, maybe give him a shock collar too.
