Molly, once a month with you is not enough
I came across an internal memo from the Star Tribune today. It may show up in their Reader’s Rep column…or it may not. A reader of the Strib went to the trouble of counting the syndicated columnists that have run on the Strib’s Op-Ed page the past 6 weeks. Here’s the count:
Lefties
Steve Chapman, 8
E.J. Dionne, 2
Molly Ivins, 1
Garrison Keillor, 5 (he hardly counts, in my opinion)
Paul Krugman, 3
Total Lefties: 19
Righties (which doesn’t really sound right unless you’re talking about baseball pitchers)
David Brooks, 5
Mona Charon, 3
Jonah Goldberg, 4
Clifford D. May, 1
James Pinkerton, 1
Debra J. Saunders, 6
John Tierney, 3
George Will, 10
Total righties: 33
So, next time someone’s bitching about Nick Coleman, whip this out on them. Personally, I think the above numbers would provide a great excuse for getting rid of Katherine Kersten. The Strib is tilting right without her help, thank you.
Perhaps they figure they need her, just like Bush needs the right wing Christians. They can’t stand her, but they need the votes.
