Safire leaving New York Times; the conservative had to go!


Jayson Blair would be a logical selection to succeed Safire.

As part of the New York Times’ plan to get its political slant so far out of the mainstream that it can change its name to Le Monde New York, token conservative William Safire announced that he was retiring from the NYT op-ed pages. Safire is 74 years old and has had a distinguished career as the NYT’s top foil of liberals. He will write his last column on January 24, 2005. He started writing at the NYT in 1973.
