Pundit Boxscore for Wednesday 15 January 2003

POORER WITHOUT RICH: I was very disappointed to read (via Eric Alterman) that Lying in Ponds favorite Frank Rich is soon to be promoted and switched to the Arts & Leisure page, and will therefore give up his Op-Ed position after a final column this Saturday. I've cited Mr. Rich repeatedly as the example of a columnist who is sharply ideological and can regularly rake the other party over the coals while retaining the intellectual independence to vigorously criticize his own party when he deems it necessary.
