I put him in the same class a William Buckley and George Will, which is high praise. Nearly as good was William Safire. Jonah Goldberg is still good. Once upon a time Kathleen Parker made sense. One oddity on the liberal left is Froma Harrop. I disagree with her values, and usually her conclusions and goals. But she writes well, doesn't take cheap shots, makes valid arguments. Her stuff starts from real problems and is well thought out. She is a far cry from the usual liberal tripe and worth reading if you seek challenging view points.
