Yeah. Bill Safire resigns.

Bill Safire, the New York Times' conservative op-ed guy, wasn't always a lying piece of shit. But Josh is right: the last two years or so have seen him take an ugly turn towards hack-dom. It's not always that he lies; more often than not, lately, his factual statements are sly half-untruths, seemingly sourced by the darker parts of our intelligence services.

I never thought he was such a chump in the 90s. He didn't much like Bush the Elder much, if I remember correctly. So what happened? Maybe somebody finally got his number.

But, if I make speak a moment for all who think the truth should retain some importance in politics: good fuckin' riddance!

Thank you.
