BEST UNRENEWED CONTRACT, EVER: Bill Kristol’s
After barely more than a year, the Times ended its relationship with op-ed columnist Bill Kristol this January. Everyone knows the Gray Lady leans to the left, but she likes to include multiple points of view on her editorial pages. But there’s leaning to the right, like David Brooks, and just being a total idiot; Kristol’s column was infuriatingly insipid — he was a Palin apologist, for Pete’s sake! He’s been replaced by a conservative our age, Ross Douthat. How does he measure up? Honestly, we’re too cool for the Times’ op-ed pages these days to find out. (Err, we can’t afford it anymore.)
