Translation: New York Times Desperate To Get Paid Circulation Numbers Up, Tries Making Deal With “Devil.”

[Joe Boucher]

Kristol a conservative?
That’s debatable.
What in comparison to say the Marxist Clintons? Or compared to Ronald Maximus?

[Paleo Conservative]

Sounds like he’s the replacement for Saffire.

[SolidWood]

Bwahahaha! HILLARIOUS! NYT employing the eeeeevil Neocon villain (in the lib world) Kristol.

Rosenthal told Politico shortly after the official announcement Saturday that he fails to understand “this weird fear of opposing views.”

Uh, welcome to your liberal Democrat world, Andy. Now grow some stones and hire Ann Coulter.

[A. Morgan]

New York Times trying to boost readership, no doubt!

[oldbill]

Just one more forum for Kristol to rant about “yahoos” and “nativists” who can’t support the illegal alien invaders that clean his mansion and mow his grass.

[hsalaw]

he fails to understand “this weird fear of opposing views.”

How can he not understand it? It's the Slimes' publishing philosophy.

[paudio]

I’m not really sure if there are many conservatives subscribing to NYT simply because Kristol column appears there. If they also hire other authors, like Ann Coulter, Victor Davis Hanson, and so on (all of them, not one or two), then perhaps it will make a difference.

[Drango]

Kristol is a great guy IMHO, but he’s sleeping with the enemy here.

Memo to: Rosenthal

Hire Mark Steyn and watch your commie/lib reader's heads REALLY explode. I might even buy your rag a couple of times a month.

[sam_paine]

Unlike The Times’ stable of bi-weekly columnists—including Maureen Dowd and fellow Standard alum David Brooks—Kristol will write only once a week,...

Duh. So Maureen writes a column once every two weeks, but Kristol writes only once a week?

I hope they don't use bi-sweet chocolate chips in their cookies.

[hinckley buzzard]

Kristol, whose strident support of President Bush and the war in Iraq remains a source of consternation among liberals

Strident? Kristol? These simple f*-ers just can't help themselves can they.

“The idea that The New York Times is giving voice to a guy who is a serious, respected conservative intellectual—and somehow that’s a bad thing,” Rosenthal added. “How intolerant is that?”

Funny how Liberalism has come to stand for Intolerance, especially of opposing views--in the media, on the campus, on high-profile scientific questions.

“The idea that The New York Times is giving voice to a guy who is a serious, respected conservative intellectual—and somehow that’s a bad thing,” Rosenthal added. “How intolerant is that?”

The NY Times has pandered to the liberals for decades ... the vast majority of their paid subscribers make up, or, are on the fringe of the loony left. Rosenthal insisting that the 'old gray hoar' needs a conservative voice in the editorial pages is sure to have these self described progressive and tolerant libs gnashing their teeth in frustration.

[Buffettfan]

Intolerant liberals have become what they despise the most.

[Argus]

Who needs to subscribe to the NY Times when they can get all the opinion columns off the internet? I get Ann Coulter, Larry Elder, and Thomas Sowell in my local paper, so there’s even less reason to subsidize the Grey Lady of Lies.

[TUX]

Ole Gray Ho...looking for some strange.

[Always Right]

Rosenthal told Politico shortly after the official announcement Saturday that he fails to understand “this weird fear of opposing views.”

That is the way the left has always been. I would be afraid too if my ideas were so weak they could not stand up to scrutiny.

[Bahbah]

I will be curious to see if Kristol’s columns tend to favor McCain, the candidate that the media would like to see run against Mrs. Clinton.
