1. this is an unfair question...
it's like asking would rather die by being doused in gasoline and set ablaze, or would you rather be doused with rubbing alcohol and set ablaze. Both suck...

2. George Will
He's a pompous ass and an apologist for totalitarianism.

4. had to go with george will
he always tries to make his argument beter by throwing in two or three big and obscure adjectives that prove, once and for all, that he can hit shift+F7 on MS Word.

7. Agreed! Charles "Ich Ein Der Krauthammer" is the tops!
what a mean spirited little man he is! The Republican paper here the Oregonian seems to love him, though...they print him regularly (plus Will and Safire, Debra Saunders too) plus place quotes from Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter regularly on their Op-Ed page each Sunday....and they cancelled Ariana Huffington's column because they said she was an activist against SUVs!

Incidentally they endorsed Clinton for re-election in 1996...the ONLY TIME EVER they endorsed a Democrat for president in their history, going back to 1850!

Sorry for going off topic...
