...There’s no need to apologize. And, before they abandon Limbaugh, Republicans should see how liberals are treating future New York Times columnist Ross G. Douthat ’02. The Salient editor emeritus is more measured in tone and more pragmatic in policy than Limbaugh, yet, when the Old Gray Lady announced his hiring, liberals pounced. A leftist think tank, the Center for American Progress, blasted Douthat in a newsletter, taking passages from his Crimson columns out of context and labeling his stances “hard-line.” As long as you have...
Joining The New York Times's editorial page tomorrow in mid-April will be former Crimson columnist Ross Gregory Douthat '02, who at 29 is set to be the youngest columnist for the Grey Lady "ever"--filling in after Bill Kristol '73's illustrious yearlong tenure.

In this magazine, conservative columnist William Kristol has cited two possible sources, both of which focus on the very middle-class voters that Reagan so successfully peeled away from their Democratic moorings. In a forthcoming book, conservative authors Ross Douthat and Reihan Salam identify these voters as "Sam's Club Republicans," who could benefit from market-friendly health-care and tax policies that are aimed at families and especially at at-home parents.
