MUSICAL CHAIRS: There is a cluster of columnists (most from The Washington Post) near the bottom of the Lying in Ponds Top Ten, whose positions in the partisanship rankings seem to shuffle with each new column -- Harold Meyerson, Richard Cohen, Tony Blankley, Charles Krauthammer and E.J. Dionne. After a couple of less partisan columns, Mr. Dionne and Mr. Krauthammer have slipped out of the Top Ten for now.
