among the best in the last year or so.
EJ Dionne perennially top notch.
Richard Cohen from time to time.
Molly Ivins, always.

12. Lewis Lapham at Harper's |
|
I don't know if he's the best, but I like him. Erudite, and appropriately snide about the Bush Imperium.

Reeves for historical perspective, Conason for analysis, and Ivins to make me laugh when oftentimes I want to scream in rage.

23. Reeves is a sanity-saver |
|
I don't know how I would have made it through the past 8 months or so without reading and agreeing with his observations. I had to email our local paper every 2 weeks or so after people screamed for his blood when he said something anti-Bush. When they finally drop his column, my newspaper subscription goes with it!
He's far from liberal, though -- more like libertarian.

24. All of the above are great... |
|
but when the Texas Legislature "Texas Lege" is in session, there is nobody more plugged-in than Molly Ivins. And funny, too.
