erynthered Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Since there was such an outpouring of love for George Will. I'm curious as to whom some of you read, if any. If they're not on this list, please add and tell us about your favorite columnists. Thanks for sharing.

Johnny Coli Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Since there was such an outpouring of love for George Will. I'm curious as to whom some of you read, if any. If they're not on this list, please add and tell us about your favorite columnists. Thanks for sharing. None of them, at least not consistently. The very nature of their job precludes them from putting strong opinions in print, biting the hand that feeds and cutting off their access to the political celebrities (and the free food and parties). They are, for all intents and purposes, stargazing groupies with typewriters who've been hovering around power circles long enough to believe they have power themselves. Case in point, George Will, David Broder...I'm sure someone can fill in the names of the "left leaning" ones. Occasionally one of them will touch upon something that will strike a nerve, but primarily I hit the political blog communities up where political disdain and fashionable anger are all the "rage."

You are soooooo full of shiit. You got no Balls, Johnny boy. I laid it out and your balls sucked right up into your abdomen. Come'on, you read Rosie O'Donnell every night before you go to bed, dont'cha? Or, Helen Thomas. Ah, thats it. Helen Thomas, when you take a shiit in the morning. I'm glad you dont have my 6. Hell, if you told me it was raining outside, I'd have to check. kitty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

/dev/null Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 PEGGY NOONAN I don't read any columnists regularly, but the Peggy Noonan columns I've read tend to stand above the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molson_golden2002 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I like Reading: George Will Pat Buchanan David Korn David Brooks Thomas Friedman Fareed Zakaria Ralph Peters and formerly Molly Ivins I like all them, and E.J. Dion. The Washington Post generally has pretty good op-ed writes. Samualson is really good on economics. I actually liked George Will before. He wrote a great review of the book "a Brief History of Nearly Everything," that made me go out and buy it. Great book, BTW. http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0767908171 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaJoe Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Other than avoiding extremists like Rush, Rosie, and Coulter, I try to read as many varied views as possible so I can see what all sides of a debate are saying, and see who provides the best case for or against an issue. Usually you'll only get one side of the story from any one columnist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I am less well read than the average bus driver. I don't need to read what a bunch of spewing idiots think in order to know what's good goings-on and what's bad goings-on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
