I've been seeing [Al Hunt] less. I think Robert Bartley -- the ultimate conservative -- might have taken his place on some days.

Nah. Hunt's been on once a week, for some time. More recently Robert Bartley--editorial page editor emeritus--has had a column "Thinking Things Over" on Mondays. Hunt's column appears on Tuesday, I think . . .

You make good point though. There are some hard-core leftys who write for the Journal news section which is why a lot of news stories get broken by the editorial writers.
