Anyone know if he's outright retiring or just leaving the Times? Can he take Dowd with him...?
To: Rutles4Ever
My guess is that he's too moderate for the NYT.

Safire to Retire from 'NYT' Op-Ed Column
By Joe Strupp
Published: November 15, 2004 11:35 AM ET
NEW YORK William Safire, the conservative voice on the New York Times Op-Ed page for more than three decades, will end his regular column in early 2005, a Times spokeswoman said Monday.
"He's written it for a long time and has been talking to [Times Publisher] Arthur [Sulzberger Jr.] about this for a year and a half," said spokeswoman Catherine Mathis. "His last column will be Jan. 24."
Mathis said Safire, who also will end his syndicated column, plans to continue his Sunday New York Times Magazine "On Language" feature. Safire, who joined the paper in 1973 after working as a speechwriter for President Nixon, won a Pulitzer Prize in 1978 for distinguished commentary.

Who's going to be the token 'moderate conservative' on the Slimes editorial page? Christoper Hitchens or David Brock perhaps..
To: Rutles4Ever
NYT is purging moderate liberals to make a clear path for hard left, socialist wack jobs. Who will be this "conservatives" replacement? I suspect they will try to get Tucker Carlson as his replacement.

Admitted voting for Clinton in 1992. Enough said.

Pity. I enjoy his "On Language" columns.
And I do mean *his*. The replacements they get at the end of the summer are usually just awful.
Language will go to Helena Handbasket, prob'ly.
Yo.
