You are Paul Krugman! You're a brilliant economist
with a knack for both making sense of the
current economic situation and exposing the
Bush administration's lies about it. You
somehow came out as the best anti-war writer on
the Op-Ed staff. Other economists hate your
guts for selling out to the liberals. To hell
with 'em.

You are Maureen Dowd! You like to give people silly
nicknames and write in really short, non
sequitur paragraphs. You're the most playful of
the columnists and a rock-ribbed liberal, but
are often accused of being too flamboyant and
frivolous. You tend to focus on style over
substance, personality over politics. But your
heart is in the right place. Plus, you are a
total fox.

You are Bob Herbert! You're not the most sparkling
writer, but one of the most solid and selfless
on the Op-Ed staff. You focus on New York
politics, the poor, race issues, and civil
liberties. You like to quote others, and rarely
place yourself in your columns. You keep it
real. Seriously.

You are Nicholas D. Kristof! You enjoy travelling,
going as far as China, Africa, Alaska, and
Central America for a good story. You use a lot
of quotes and references in your stories. You
tackle tough issues like AIDS and religion,
which makes you controversial among Christians.
You're a good man, Nicholas D. Kristof.

You are Thomas L. Friedman! You're the foreign
affairs expert. You're liberal on most issues,
except you're a leading voice in the pro-war
movement. You're probably the most popular
columnist at the Times, but probably because
you play both sides of the Iraq issue and
relish your devotion to what you call
"fanatical moderatism." You sure can
write, but you could work on your sense of
humor.

You are David Brooks! You're exceedingly smart, but
your writing is as compelling as wallpaper. You
are a thoughtful though hard-line conservative,
but lack any of Safire's verbal pyrotechnics.
In addition, you dress like you're colorblind.
Fall down, juvenile.

i guess it could be much worse

amateur!st (amateurist), Monday, 5 April 2004 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

When someone gets Safire, we should all circle around him and laugh and point until he cries.

Sym (shmuel), Monday, 5 April 2004 06:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, fuck. I'm Friedman.

Well, at least I'm not Dowd.

I'm Dowd, though I know I've got more sense (and a tighter sense of style).

Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 5 April 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

i got friedman. how? my favorite times writer is all the writers in the style section of the magazine who must remind me of Tom Ford's existence once every month. I have nothing againt Tom Ford.

i actually like brooks. though maybe its because Bobos in Paradise was a great argument against adres duany.

Bloody hell, Maureen Dowd. Because in journalism there's always a load of men to pick from as archetypes but only one woman, ever.

This is the thread where I say that TL Friedman is an alum of my high school (and is pals with other alum Al Franken). We even had the same journalism teacher. He did not learn his Zionist schtick from her!

three years pass...

now you can figure this out w/out paying, again -- Gothamist:

After two years in service and almost as long as media gossip fodder, Times Select, NYTimes.com's service that offered access to the rich archives of the New York Times through a paid subscription modeled, is officially dead. The service put certain current online content behind the Times Select wall, such as columns by Op-Ed writers, and there was much criticism, even from within the Times, about restricting access the paper.
