Hey, fair's fair -- Safire's a flaming asshole on those issues, but he was
also violently against military tribunals from the very beginning when
barely anybody else in the editorial mainstream was making a peep.  So
he's got some right to be considered less perfectly consistent in his
partisanship.

Although of course I think there's no doubt PK's column is better.
Frankly, at the moment, I think it's the best bi-weekly editorial column
in the country.  Which is kind of remarkable, considering how bad it was
for his first nine months.  The guy seems to have approached column
writing like a problem, wrestled with it, and solved it.

Although it certainly helps him that Bush got elected.  PK is much better
on offense than defense.
