He was one of the best and will be missed. There are not many out there who can replace him.

The man who penned the immortal words nattering nabobs of negativism. I think he also wrote professor Smith's lines.

He was right when he called the media, “Nattering, nabombs of negativity."

Mr. Safire called Hillary Clinton a congenital liar in print. Mrs. Clinton said she was offended only for her mothers sake. But a White House aide said that Bill Clinton, if he were not president, would have delivered a more forceful response on the bridge of Mr. Safires nose.Safire would've kicked that fat moron's ass.
nattering nabobs of negativism.
Hillary Clinton a congenital liar.
A friend of the English language and of the Republic. RIP.

RIP, Mr. Safire.
I do not wish to be a nattering nabob of negativism, but there is no conservative journalist that can wear the mantle of Bob Novak or Bill Safire, at least not one that is as admired on the left as Novak and Safire were.

I still don’t get why “Passion” is “full of nasty Jews”. OK, I only saw it way back in the theater, but I don’t recall anything particularly outstanding in there about Jews being all evil.

Is there an epidemic of Pancreatic Cancer?I suspect there is, and I also suspect that it is being covered up. No joke.
It would be interesting to know if somebody has correlated certain chemical or other environmental factors with the apparent increase in cases of pancreatic cancer.
My kids' pediatrician - - a very wise old doctor whom I trust and admire immensely - - told me about 10 years ago that there would likely be an epidemic of liver cancer "20 to 30 years from now" due to so many people having hepatitis-c (and many not even knowing it).

Nixon was a RINO so maybe if he had gotten the horn from Safire he would have seen the light and become a conservative.
