The Washington Monthly
Unfortunately, the problem with hiring a regular columnist is that if you hire an idiot, you're stuck with an idiot. For example, you could hire the guy who said this last year:
Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina seems like a decent and likable man, the political equivalent of a handsome, slightly under-ripe bunch of bananas, just the thing if you are looking for bananas and can't find any ripe ones, or don't know the difference.
That was David Gelernter, writing in — wait for it — the LA Times last July. His reward for this was to be given a regular column on the op-ed page starting last week.
