Well, isn’t this just special?

What this story essentially highlights is raw unthinking emotion suddenly eclipsed by the real world–which should be read, existentially, as Liberal unreality suddenly overcome by Conservative reality.

The essence of this story can be seen across virtually every social and economic aspect of the world–that which is championed by silly narcissistic Leftists until reality comes a’ knocking.

Now, a senior Leftist Huffpo editor (and somewhat radical maven), Katherine Zaleski finds the graduated need to apologize to all the working mothers she has denigrated (and worse) in the past, but only after she has borne offspring and finds herself walking in the former enemies’ (other mothers’) shoes.

An enraged Conservative pundit once wrote of Zaleski:

“Zaleski isn’t the only one to blindly insinuate von Brunn was a “right wing” extremist – an idea that is totally absurd given Brunn’s background as a 9/11 Truther, Christian-hating, anti-Semitic, anti-Bush, anti-neo-conservative, neo-Nazi who may have been gunning forThe Weekly Standard – but this banshee, Zaleski, has sunk to unfathomable depths of depravity with these accusations of incitement.”

It would seem that this woman’s journey into the world of the blue sky has begun.  Welcome to the existence that “is” rather than the one that “is desired,” Katherine; so tell us, what was it that you were saying about the wondrous aspects of collectivism only a few years, hence?

(Now, if we can just get a few reporters to become soldiers, er…aside from Brian Williams)…

Then she became a mom, and everything changed.

In a widely shared piece this week forFortune.com, the journalist-turned-startup executive apologizes for disparaging the mothers she worked with in her 20s at the Huffington Post and Washington Post.

Zaleski said she committed multiple “infractions,” against these women, including scheduling late-afternoon meetings or happy hours without considering that mothers with after-work responsibilities wouldn’t be able to attend.

She even didn’t disagree “when another female editor said we should hurry up and fire another woman before she ‘got pregnant.’ “

Now a mother to a young daughter, Zaleski said she was wrong to undervalue mothers’ contributions by counting hours logged in the office and not the actual work done.

“I wish I had known five years ago, as a young, childless manager, that mothers are the people you need on your team,” she wrote. “There’s a saying that ‘if you want something done then ask a busy person to do it.’ That’s exactly why I like working with mothers now.”

Zaleski’s piece has been shared more than 1,000 times and has been hailed on social media by many commenters who applaud her for seeing the error of her ways.

“Your message is so important and it’s about time it was addressed,” said Heather Bouvier on Twitter.

“THANK YOU for writing this. There are so many people like your then-childless 28-year-old self who need to read it. Seriously, thank you from the bottom of my heart,” wrote Alice Gomstyn on Facebook.

Since the essay was published Tuesday, Zaleski told CNN she’s received more than 2,000 emails from readers who admit they’ve committed similar infractions in the workplace.

“I’m so motivated and thrilled,” she said. “I couldn’t be more psyched for the responses.”

But not all the responses have been positive. Some people refuse to accept Zaleski’s apology and accuse her of borrowing from similar apologetic essays by other new moms.

“This woman has basically stolen another woman’s post about her views on mothers with children in the workforce for her own personal gain!!,” wrote one commenter on Zaleski’s essay.

Others accuse Zaleski of writing the essay just to promote the new company she co-founded, Power to Fly, an online platform that matches women with technical skills to freelance projects they can do from anywhere.
