For people who weren’t there, it’s hard to describe how cowed the mainstream press was by George W. Bush, especially after 9/11. However obviously true arguments like “it was Bush, not Gore, who was lying at the debate” and “the Iraq War is a very dumb idea” were, they were almost never expressed in big-name op-ed columns at the time. The Times essentially stumbled into this by accident — he was hired to be a neoliberal economics commentator — but he was a really bracing voice then and never stopped being good. I’m looking forward to where he ends up next.
