the Journal's editorial page is perhaps the greates in the world ......

Shaped and molded and honed as such in my lifetime by Bob Bartley and now has Paul Gigot at the tiller

AL Hunt has a opinion weekly piece which is regularly far wackyer and more infurioating than anything written here by Andrew Sullivan ...... who unlike Hunt is a bright man

The Journal has oaways offered a forum to positions oposite to that of its editorials

That's what this OPINION piece is by Sullivan

This is not the opinion of the WSJ. -- it's an OP-ED

the Journal was fair and balanced long before it became fashonable

To Paraphrase Bob Bartley: ' It's the only Editorial page in the world which actually sells papers'

He's quite correct

Just read those two pages each day and you will be a better person .... IMHO

Agreed, and I realize that from time to time the Journal has been known to run op-ed pieces from the likes of Al Gore and Martha Stewart. And I'm sure that most intelligent readers understand that Hunt lost his sanity and any pretext of camoflaging his liberalism the day his son was paralyzed. But Sullivan is something different. He masquarades as a Conservative, and I find that dishonest. At the very least, if the WSJ is going run an op-ed piece by Sullivan defending gay marriage from a so-called "Conservative" standpoint, the author needs to acknowledge his own homosexuality within the article.

The op-ed is the first thing I read in the WSJ every morning. Not to be missed.
