The New York Times' "public editor" Clark Hoyt has a column in which he states that the New York Times made a mistake in giving William "Wee Willie" Kristol an op-ed position a couple of weeks ago. Nearly 700 messages were received by the New York Times, and all but one was critical of the hiring. Wee Willie notoriously suggested in 2006 that the New York Times should be prosecuted for divulging that the Bush Assministration was sifting through international banking records looking for terrorists. Hoyt writes because of Wee Willie's contempt for the First Amendment, "this is not a person I would have rewarded with a regular spot in front of arguably the most elite audience in the nation." Wee Willie also refused to talk to Hoyt about this matter prior to publication.
Too late. You've got Wee Willie for a year. Enjoy.
