Confidential to the NYT Human Resources Dept.: Hey, just how much vacation time does this Krugman guy get?

>

Dontcha hate when this happens? It's Friday, and you open the newspaper, and you find out that Paul Krugman is on vacation. For a change. I mean, is anyone keeping track of all the vacation time that man takes? It has to be getting up into the Bushosphere, wouldn't you think?

It wouldn't be so bad if that bum Frank Rich wasn't taking his precious "book leave" now. Months and months and months of book leave. Really, now! I have every hope of reading a book someday too, but when I do, I'll do it on my own time, thank you very much.

Come on, guys, what does it take, 15-20 minutes, to bang out one of these columns?

You notice how those lowlifes David Brooks and John Tierney never take vacation? Okay, maybe they slither off once in a while, but not so as you'd notice. It's like if you've got roaches, or mice, and you don't see them for a while. You don't kid yourself that they're actually gone.

just want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that there is another NYTimes op-ed columnist who has been as relentless a spokesperson for decency and the constitution as anyone in the msm - bob herbert. not only does he care about the issues in an enlightened way, but he, more than any, manages to make the issues manifestly 'real' by discussing them in terms of the consequences they have on actual people. when you're jonesing for a good, old fashioned NYTimes' liberal diatribe, check out herbert.
