I gained some respect for him when he was with the Washington Post and he wrote a column defending Clarence Thomas against the smears of Anita Hill. Of course, the Post promptly began to investigate Williams for sexual harassment. I actually did a story about that for a publication I was writing for at the time.
He was abandoned by his buddies.
Yours is a good take on Williams. I actually like listening to him because he occasionally surprises...all the rest of the lib hacks are so predictable; at least Williams occasionally speaks from his heart, and got fired for it.
I think what got him fired is that, “he agreed with Bill O’Reilly”.
