What Conservative writer could write an article without criticizing the NYT? The paper is not very conservative friendly. Hell, even the Wall Street Journal has taken swipes at the Repubs lately. Having a dyed-in-the-wool conservative write for your paper is a lame idea anyhow. Unless of course that publication is dyed-in-the-wool conservative itself. Which is kind of absurd really.

The NYT hired Kristol to co-opt him as they did with David Brooks, and to lend some credibility to their partisan hackery.  Kristol chose principle over loyalty and continued to criticize the NYT, so they fired him.

I simply couldn't care less if they were to vanish completely. They ARE the New York Media Elite. And I wish them no well at all. I really think the NYT editorial page is on its last gasp.

Also on the downside, his NY cred is kinda new.    Bill O’Reilly would work too.  He’s New Yawka to the bone, but then again, he’s not a complete conservative either.  If they want to go the total opposite of their typical current pundits just to balance things out, Sean Hannity might be their man.

It appears to me that he has long drawn most of his schtick from poking his finger in the eye of the Northeastern Limousine Liberal set, of which Dowd, Krugman, and Rich are paragons. So he'd make a nice counterweight to them, the guy who shoots seltzer down the pants of the snooty elitists and hits them in the face with coconut cream pies. ("Honk honk!" on the clown horn for emphasis.) The Limbaugh suggestion is not, in my mind, bad at all.

I also suggest that David Brooks should stop slumming and leave with Kristol. (Kristol, by the way, is a nice guy but a bad fit for that page anyway; he belongs somewhere more like The Weekly Standard or National Review, or maybe a token Republican spot at a place like The New Republic.)
