[Barkeep49]

The quiz can be found here (http://quizilla.com/users/drakespeare/quizzes/Which%20New%20York%20%20Times%20Op-Ed%20Columnist%20Are%20You%3F/)

Much to my disgust I came up as Maureen Dowd.

[JonInMiddleGA]

You are William Safire! You're ruthless and cunning, and a conservative demigod. You used to write speeches for Nixon. Now you write another column on the English language which has made you the world's most popular etymologist. You hate media deregulation, but love the Bush administration. If only you weren't such a brilliant writer. You bastard.

Shocking. :)

You are Thomas L. Friedman! You're the foreign affairs expert. You're liberal on most issues, except you're a leading voice in the pro-war movement. You're probably the most popular<br>columnist at the Times, but probably because you play both sides of the Iraq issue and relish your devotion to what you call "fanatical moderatism." You sure can write, but you could work on your sense of humor.

I too was Thomas L. Friedman. Perhaps I should read his column at some point.

I came up as Friedman too. Very strange.

Man, I think the "kill them all and let god sort them out" answer doomed me to coming up with the morel liberal guy.

[Desnudo]

You are Nicholas D. Kristof! You enjoy travelling, going as far as China, Africa, Alaska, and Central America for a good story. You use a lot of quotes and references in your stories. You tackle tough issues like AIDS and religion, which makes you controversial among Christians. You're a good man, Nicholas D. Kristof.

Kristof.

You are Maureen Dowd! You like to give people silly nicknames and write in really short, non sequitur paragraphs. You're the most playful of the columnists and a rock-ribbed liberal, but are often accused of being too flamboyant and frivolous. You tend to focus on style over substance, personality over politics. But your heart is in the right place. Plus, you are a total fox.

You tackle tough issues like AIDS and religion, which makes you controversial among Christians. You're a good man, Nicholas D. Kristof.

Enjoy travelling? BZZT, wrong! Hate it.
Use a lot of references? I suppose I would if I wrote for a newspooper.
Tackle tough issues? Hell yeah.
Controversial among Christians? Definitely, although I am one myself.
Good man, Nicholas D. Kristof? No I'm not, and quit calling me Shirley.

[QuikSand]

I had a lot of "none of the above" situations in answering the questions, but...

<img src="http://images.quizilla.com/D/drakespeare/1070248457_krugman.2.jpg" border="0" alt="Paul Krugman"><br>You are Paul Krugman! You're a brilliant economist<br>with a knack for both making sense of the<br>current economic situation and exposing the<br>Bush administration's lies about it. You<br>somehow came out as the best anti-war writer on<br>the Op-Ed staff. Other economists hate your<br>guts for selling out to the liberals. To hell<br>with 'em.
<br><br>


Krugman probably gets a 75% strike rate with me, so that seems pretty fair. Safire was probably the second best match.
