Kristoff does some very nice reporting here - and some very idiotic commentary at the end. Perhaps his one good column for the year?

No. He's pretty much a left-wing idiot. I've never read even one of his columns that was truly worth reading. Kristoff replaced the NYT's Anthony Lewis (who's "At Home Abroad" column was simply a piece of crap) about two years ago. I'd say that Kristoff is even worse than Lewis.
