When talking ‘quality of writing’ you can’t get much better than stuff put out by the New York Times... Right humblegunner?

I wouldn't know, I'll take your word for it.

So, do you trust Maureen Dowd’s opinions more than Sarah Palin’s based on wordsmiting?

Not really familiar with Dowd, probably read her stuff without noting who wrote it.

Palin? Read a few things she's written, seems decently enough put together.

Are you saying she writes poorly?

I like Palin’s writing - I like her ideas too and her integrity more than both combined. I doubt the New York Times would hire Palin based on her writing... (you can trust me on this one - I have read the New York Times...)

I didn’t read the rest of galtman’s comments on the thread until just now. I think his problems are beyond poor writing and fall into the areas known as thin-skinned and defensive. Unattractive traits that have nothing to do with his writing ability.

I’ll stay with my original position... re-write men, English teachers, and college lit professors are a dime a dozen - but original thinkers are gold...
