William Safire has been a token conservative columnist at the NYT since the 1970s. He is now semi-retired. He was a speechwriter for Nixon and Agnew.
Well since he's a conservative it's safe to say that liberals don't read his columns. I'm hoping they think this slight shift in power is a mandate and start acting like the loons they are. XD
'08 is right around the corner and Dems, especially the new ones that ran as conservatives this time around, exposing themselves in public can only help. ^^
