"It's as though an NFL coach decided to start a four-foot, 65-pound Korean eight-year-old at middle linebacker, and when he got criticized, responded: 'People are mad we're using a player of such tremendous size and experience, just because he's Korean. How intolerant!'"In case you're wondering, Bill Kristol is the Korean eight-year-old.
..."consider a point my former Week colleague Brad Cope made back when the paper hired David Brooks: foreign policy conservatives are OK, but you will never, ever see the paper hire a staunchly pro-life, anti-gay-rights, morals-obsessed social conservative -- especially not a Christian one. Now, unlike Brad, I'm not saying the paper should do this. But his point is well-taken that if the paper really wanted to diversify the page to include opinions that are cherished by many Americans but shut out of the Times, that would be the way to do it."
