At what point did Safire become a conservative? He's a moderate who only appears conservative because he writes for the NYT.

They have David Brooks. You can have Maureen Dowd, Paul Krugman, Bob Herbert and Frank Rich and that's the Gray Lady's idea of "balance" on the op-ed pages. Hire more than ONE conservative and suddenly the paper is in danger of turning into a right-wing rag. No wonder the paper's liberals want to make sure readers are not exposed to dangerous ideas more often than necessary. And that's why incidentally, they are out of touch with the country.
