Well, there ends the last reason to read any of the three newsmags.

The whole model of anointed commentators talking down to mostly passive readers has crumbled. If column-writing were a stock, I would sell now." I can't wait for the day when Mo Dowd is just another poster on DU.

I can't wait for the day when Mo Dowd is just another poster on DU. The despicable Dowd is almost there now thanks to NYT policy. LOL

What we're witnessing here is a complete elimination of all the lines that used to define people in the past. Politicians are no more competent than the people who elect them, law enforcement officials are no more law-abiding than the citizens they shake down on a daily basis, and people in the media are no more relevant to the public discussion about important issues than Ronald McDonald is.

Is there nobody you can admire, respect, and yield to? Sure. But things were never the same after Junior Johnson retired.

I've been a subscriber to USNWR since the late 70's. John Leo was probably the best...

I've been a subscriber to USNWR since the late 70's. John Leo was probably the best The very first news magazine I subscribed to when I was 11 years old in 1961 was USNWR. They were talking about the "missle gap" then. I've been a news junkie ever since...

I must've been reading him when he was local or something. I could've sworn that I was reading him in college, which would've been prior to 86. Maybe I'm misremembering.

John Leo's columns run in many small newspapers including the local paper here at the Lake of the Ozarks. The editors run his piece across from the week's selected screeching harpie Liberal.
To: abb
Somehow I suspect there will always be a place for men like John Leo. His voice is not just that of a friend, it's of a trusted partner. He'll be missed.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, John. You've obviously never read his columns.

I can't wait for the day when Mo Dowd is just another poster on DU. Sure, you talk tough. Probably just cover for the fact you can’t wait for the day when she bears your love child and whispers all her wisdom directly in your ear..
