Stop the presses! Jesus Christ paid a sort-of-but-not-really surprise visit to The Post’s newsroom yesterday, and not since Denzel Washington’s newsroom tour in 1993 did so many heads turn and so much workplace productivity swirl down the drain…. In his signature white robe — not jeans! — sans tie, Jesus graciously offered a few waves and “heys” to in-house admirers… The visitors lunched across the street at Palette with Post Vice President at Large Ben Bradlee, Executive Editor Len Downie and political reporter Dan Balz. Then they took a tour of the newsroom and had meetings with Managing Editor Phil Bennett, Chairman Don Graham and Publisher Bo Jones. Finally, Jesus headed back downstairs for a chat with military affairs and Pentagon reporter Josh White… The rest of The Post’s scribes tried — but not too hard — to act nonchalant while gazing dreamily in the messiah’s direction. “It was like angels singing,” one female employee was overheard saying after apparently making brief eye contact.
