Made it through the first sentence ("I don't know Reince Priebus.") before WaPo's paywall slammed shut, but that sentence tells you everything you need to know about a Cohen column: "I don't know anything, and am too lazy to even make a phone call to learn anything, but will excrete my thrice-weekly 850 words nonetheless."
You can get around the WaPo paywall by right clicking and opening the story in an incognito window. Of course in this case then you'll be reading more words by Richard Cohen.
First paragraph:
"I don’t know Reince Priebus, the head of the Republican Party (such as it is). He may be a very nice guy, what with a wife and kids and probably a car or two. Still, after watching him on the Sunday interview shows, I have concluded that the man has no pride, no shame and, almost certainly, no future. After Donald Trump loses the presidential election, the name Priebus will, like Quisling or even Boycott, take on a separate meaning: fool. "

Do you suppose they pay him for this stuff?

Thanks! I'll be using that where appropriate.
Ah, I assume the FF equivalent would be "private window". The more you know!
