Unfortunately, the Times' web site does not have the list posted, but it is in the print edition. Many more conservatives than I would have predicted. For example:
3-George Will
5-William J Bennett
10-William Safire (yeah, I know)
14 Antonin Scalia
(lemme skip ahead here)
74-ANN COULTER75-DAVID HOROWITZYou get the idea.

Very interesting post. I'd love to see the whole list. Maybe it's online, I'll check and if so post a link here.

13-Toni Morrison (oy) 13th on the Top 100 Intellectuals list? Doesn't Whoopee Goldberg come before her? Quadruple "oy".

Whad'ya expect? I argued with some maroon here recently who kept insisting that the top grossing movie list was a measurement of quality. The bestseller lists and lists are a very Amrican phenomenon. It's disappointing, isn't it, that Posner would fall for this game (unless he's playing it only to earn a paycheck, but still.) The lists as measurements of anything except the lowest common denominator are contemptible beyond words to begin with, sorry.
