Come on, that's a bit harsh...he is usually writing about personal responsibility, etc. His articles are well written/thought out, and almost always conservative...
He is an excellent writer and well thought out, but he's been around the loons so much and he wants so much to be well thought of. He is the media version of Sandra Day O'Conner. When they first came on the scene so much was expected and initially they delivered. As time passed, they melded into the squishy center. He is not a raving lib, and has more conservative values than most in the media, kinda like lindsay graham. Almost, but not quite my cup of tea.
