Just when you thought Occupy D.C. was dead and gone and, with it, the Washington Post’s gauzy coverage, the paper has resurrected it’s puffery of the leftist movement just in time for Easter.

This time, the Post fondly remembered the left-wing squatters’ camp by awarding its sixth annual Easter Peeps Diorama Contest to Cori E. Wright of Falls Church, Va., for her “OccuPeep D.C.” display.  Wright, a decorative painter who works for the Architect of the Capitol told the Post that she “[doesn’t] necessarily agree with the occupiers, but I agree with the right to occupy.” [see photo of diorama below page break]

“I didn’t want to be disrespectful. I didn’t want to fill the signs with puns. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t one-sided,” Wright noted.

“In the Post newsroom, her sincerity and objectivity reigned,” Post staffer Katherine Boyle gushed.
