The NY Times just lost its only conservative columnist.
And unreadable.
They'll replace him with a similar "conservative," a la Tucker Carlson.
The NY Times just lost its only conservative columnist.
Further slippery slide into the abyss of liberal left's communistic demoncRAT drive.

So the NYTimes is rid of the sole non-leftist on it's opinion pages. Safire is now relegated to writing on the "English Language". How nice..... [/sarcasim]
Surely, to leave the Times one must step UP!
Sigh,there goes a voice of reason. Take care Bill and thank you.!!
He was one of the very few reasons to read the NY Times at all.
A rare intelligent voice at the Slimes is out.
Ann Coulter would be a good replacement....
Safire considered himself the moderate among the
Nixon speech writers. Buchanan was the conservative,
and I don't remember who the leftie was. But the
moderate in a moderate administration? Safire stood
out only because he worked on the times.
I wish they got rid of Nicholas Kristof, Fox Butterfield(He might be gone), Paul Krugman, and Dowdy instead.
I don't blame him. With a flagship like the NY Times, it's a bit downgrading to be with the likes of Rather at CBS.
He has a refutation to protect.
Well this will open up a spot from James Carville, much better fit for the NY Times then Safire.
I don't think Pinchy bothers to read his own newspaper.
Replace him with Ann Coulter
Safire was strongly pro-abortion. He wrote an occasional good column, like the one in which he called hillary a congenital liar. But they were few and far between. Maybe about one a year in the last decade or so.
David Brooks is reliably pro-abortion and pro-homosexual too. He's the New York Times's idea of a conservative. Compare either of these guys to the token conservatives at the Boston Globe or the Washington Post, and they look pretty poor.
