Rush Limbaugh for the New York Times Op-Ed Page
The Next Right —
... Let me first state that I don't particularly care who writes for the New York Times op-ed page, and think all the handwringing about who will replace Bill Kristol is a collosal waste of time for conservatives. I long ago stopped reading the editorial pages, and rely mostly on RSS and the news section for my daily fill of politics.

I predict that the conservative opinion slot will be deemed an expendable budget line by the Times‘ ownership. ...

Hot Air » Top Picks —
... Now that Bill Kristol has written his last column for his year-long stint as the conservative voice at the New York Times, speculation has begun about his replacement. Michael Calderon lists a few potential candidates at Politico , and he includes the Barack Obama-appointed Voice of the Opposition. But will the Times bother to maintain a conservative voice at all? With William Kristol gone from the New York Times op-ed page, that leaves David Brooks — a fan of talking philosophy with Obama – as the lone conservative regularly on the page. Since September 2003, when Brooks ...
