- Fulltime job at MSNBC??

[Happy Rain]

Finally realized being just another obsolete Leftist hack at an anachronistic Leftist rag is so 20th Century.

NYT gotta HIAR another LIAR.

[TheZMan]

How some people can be this dense truly eludes me.

Soros

[WaterBoard]

It is interesting that so many long time NY Times writers are jumping ship. Hopefully, this means that there are serious financial issues going on at the paper and these socialists are looking for work elsewhere.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Gee; how I miss Russell Baker.
Now...there was a writer !

[bronxville]

Agree that’s more likely. Soros is pulling out all the stops to silence Glenn Beck.

[Tax-chick]

He looks like a very tan Bill O’Reilly.

[Mr. K]

"“I am leaving The New York Times and the rewards and rigors of daily journalism with the intent of writing more expansively and more aggressively about the injustices visited on working people, the poor and the many others in our society who find themselves on the wrong side of power unable to live on the 41% of tax money provided by 1% of the population, those evil rich people,” Herbert wrote. "

There, fixed it.

This coming from a guy who lives in one of Donald Trump’s luxury condos on the Upper West Side.

And he doesn’t pay property taxes on his multi-million dollar condo because of a tax abatement for the building, too, just like A-Rod.

[jimbo123]

Bob Herbert is one of those evil rich people. If he cared so much about the poor people, he’d sell his multi-million dollar Trump apartment and pay all of the property taxes he’s avoided due to the tax abatement he’s received while owning it.

[ExpatGator]

It is not that they are dense. They are motivated and blinded by their prejudices. They hate Western Culture and are bent on destroying it.

[jimbo123]

50% of the current editorial staff will be cut within 3 years. They need to move to a Huffington Post model as soon as possible and convert a majority of their paid workforce to slave labor. The clock is ticking.

[jimbo123]

Herbert's wife. Why isn't he married to a black woman?

[Brilliant]

Not liberal enough for them.

SINGLE RESIDENTIAL CONDO UNIT

[Oldpuppymax]

Well that “mysterious, progressive journalism project” CAN’T be the aggressive shilling for Hussein. Herberts been doing that for years!

[Cicero]

For years, Herbert has competed with Mo Dowd for the prize as worst stylist with fewest ideas on the OpEd page.

I think Dowd has him beat. She is glaringly bad, and he is just dismally bad.

[Happy Rain]

Well the BO 2012 flim flamm part deux tour DOES need one person of color with an above room temp IQ—doesn't it?
Herbert is a totally indoctrinated Leftist ass but he is certainly brighter than any other “minority” sycophant employed by the campaign—at least HE will make sure the Mau Mau fathered fool has a key to the White House.

[Larry381]

Strange thing is Herbert was a fairly good columnist when he worked at the NY Daily News. He was a liberal, but a liberal without the normal leftist acute hatred of everything non-liberal. As soon as he became a Times writer, all that stopped immediately and he became the thing he is today. Expect the Gay Mafia who control the Times newsroom to select one of their own to replace him.
