John
I know he’s written some unflattering things but I thought he;s some flattering too, which is the way of most pundits. Maybe I am thinking of someone else.

Pamela,
No, Yepsen leans to the right.At least thats the way most
Democrats in Iowa see him. He has been very insulting to Democrats for as long as I can remember. He has been very insulting in his writings about John Kerry,Tom Harkin and Tom Vilsack just to name a few.

I can’t remember if it was before Santorum got his walking papers handed to him by the voters or after, but I had the distinct displeasure of catching he and Glenn Beck talking on the radio one time. It was my first deep immersion into the whole “Islamofascism, World War III, kill all muslims” spiel. As you might guess, those who believe in this crap think that a full on military assault on the Mid East (to start) should be the highest priority on the national agenda.

Yeah, it’s always good to make sure that crazed warmongers get a fantastic outlet for their views. Where would this country be without “true patriots” being willing to speak powerful bullshit to other equally deluded, but similarly patriotic, souls?

It’s not going to be hard to convince outsiders that this country is NOT really like that after reading it in a major newspaper, is it? What’s next, an all gruesome details of abortion all of the time column?

Or maybe, since we obviously want to see that all view points get represented, we get a weekly contribution from a crazed muslim bomb maker. That would be balance.

Of course they will a column to Rick Santorum. Cal Thomas and George Will have columns. In my state of Iowa we have David Yepsen, a real insulting right wing book of knowledge.
