Gene "Lyin'" Lyons
(Hell...he even looks like a liberal pole smoker)
Posted on 10/18/2011 8:21:06 AM PDT by DCBryan1
Gene Lyons' column Wednesday in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette will be his last. He was notified of the end of some 18 years of weekly column writing on Monday by editorial page editor Paul Greenberg. Greenberg cited budget concerns, Lyon said.
The savings from ending Lyons' once-a-week column will be offset, however, by expenses for the daily newspaper's new arrangement with John Brummett, who goes on the payroll as an independent contractor after his current employment with Stephens Media ends Oct. 20. The D-G earlier had dropped Pat Lynch as a weekly column contributor. Brummett is to write three columns a week for the print edition. No word yet if that could affect appearances by Bradley Gitz, Dana Kelley or Mike Masterson.
Computer owners (which, I presume most people reading this are) need not be depressed. Lyons remains avalaible at a number of syndicate locations, notably Salon. And it's free, unlike at the D-G, where a subscription was required to read him in the paper or on-line.

Hope he never gets another platform to spew his venom. A truly detestable person.
Yeah, but replacing him with leftist Brummett is hardly much of an improvement.
Sounds like Ark Dem Gaz is just trading one liberal writer for another. Is Brummett any less liberal?
“Is Brummett any less liberal? “
Maybe not. But I bet he’s a heck of a lot cheaper! Why pay a premium for lies when you can get them for a discount?
“Lyons remains available at a number of syndicate locations, notably Salon”
LOL! Salon seems to be the last refuge for ex-newspaper kommie writers when they’re kicked out right before the ship they helped to sink goes down.
Pretty soon, even Salon’s going to be so bloated with these kicked-out kommies, that even paying them practically nothing Salon won’t be able to make enough money to stay afloat on the digital ocean.
Ironic isn’t it, about how capitalism keeps destroying the anti-capitalists based on simple ideas like free-enterprise, free-markets, competition, innovation and entrepreneurship. Guess that’s what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you.
One of the most disgusting Clinton buttkissers ever.
No worries, Gene has enought stashed what the “toons” paid him.
I was no fan of Lyons nor of the slobbering Pat Lynch. Perhaps ARDemGaz will turn back into a newspaper worthy of readership - I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Hmm...first my local paper was cleansed of the hatemongering Leonard Pitts and now it’s cleansed of the hatmongering Gene Lyons. Good trend, but they’ll likely just find another lib.

Joe Conason and Gene Lyons are a couple of Kneepad Knights
They both get down on their knees for Bill
It’s one of their greatest delights
And now the shills have produced a book about a conspiracy
The dreaded right would all hunt for Bill
He’s innocent as he could be
There is no one he raped and he didn’t sell us all out
That is why his sweet wife will get on her soapbox to shout
Joe Conason and Gene Lyons are a couple of Kneepad Knights
They both get down on their knees for Bill
It’s one of their greatest delights
