Eye of the Beholder

One Llewellyn King, writing on media in today’s Albuquerque Journal, tells us that Al Franken "is Ann Coulter’s counterpoint."
Amazing.
Ann Coulter is so far out that she’s written that liberals are not just wrong but traitors. Franken enjoys taking on the right, but he isn’t very liberal. He likes Bill Clinton, fer gosh sakes.
But this fits beautifully with the Journal’s editorial and OpEd tastes.
They have a bunch of far right columnists and a few mildly liberal ones (Reeves, Raspberry). The Journal lacks a single liberal voice as strong on the left as say, Krauthammer is, on the right.
That's as I see it, of course.
