MRT47: "One thing that's often missing from CPs pronouncements is substantiation, i.e., some indication of the research and reading that she has done on the issue."
Understatement of the year.
MRT47: "But opinion columns aren't research papers; they are done on the quick."
Huh? Camille Paglia's column comes out once a month. And excusing sloppy writing/thinking because it's "done on the quick" is a cop-out. Plenty of opinion columnists take time to carefully substantiate and lay out their reasonign. Glenn Greenwald is but one example, and the guy writes an opinion column every day or two.
