Paper pimp (n). A high profile left or right wing columnist, who writes op ed pieces with a particular slant to persuade many of its readers to buy a newspaper, that otherwise would be used for the litterbox or the bird cage lining. A paper pimp knows his/her audience, so it will sell in certain markets. Paper Pimps are found syndicated in many of the large metropolitan "rags" throughout the country. This can also be used as a descriptive: "paper pimper, or pimping papers".
Cal Thomas' article didn't surprise me. I read the first paragraph and knew he was just a paper pimp.

Get the happy papermug. An Old Bully. A Blowhard. Kind of like a "Paper Tiger" but who has held the position for a lot longer. Kinda like in the movie Friday where Craig beats Deebo's ass but with his fists and not a gun. A person or state who everyone has been afraid of for years and years and finally gets their ass totally handed to them. In a word; Russia!
Man, how about this whole Russian invasion of Ukraine? Russia is a getting a total smack-down, Bro! Looks like Russia is really just a Paper Bear!
