Kristol's Replacement

Marc Ambinder says Ross Douthat will soon be writing op-eds for the NYT (and Ross confirms). Good choice, I say, especially when compared to the other names I had been hearing.

I know Ross from Bloggingheads.tv and I read his blog from time to time. He's a bore when he starts whipping his abortion hobbyhorse, but other than that, I usually find him considerably more thoughtful and intellectually honest than most rightwing pundits, even as I disagree with him.

Congratulations, Ross.
