• Heh. It thinks I'm Nicholas D Kristoff...[so I gave it a banana.]
• I'm Paul Krugman. I bet everyone here is gonna be REAL surprised I ended up with him. And Maureen Dowd is a fox! Can we take bets on who gets William Safire?
• I'm Bob Herbert, which is sort of like getting second prize in a beauty contest.
• Im Krugman, as well. I sort of figured that going in, but most of my answers werent economy-based. Im not so surprised, but I would feel pretty filthy if I had ended up being Safire...
• Please be Safire... please be Safire... Woo hoo, Safire! All I had to do was feign interest in Israel and have a temporary "change of heart" on the war.
• Shame on you, beeswacky. One F only. I only know cos I got him too.
• Unfair! There's only one female available to play me in the movie so I ended up with Maureen Dowd.
• well....that was interesting... i'm not impressed with the options they offer in lieu of the reporters.....i didn't know some of the reading material (as if the nyt-ers don't read the post).... then, being canadian, and not personally interested in finances, evangelism or rebellion, i didn't prefer any of the options elsewhere...there was no "all/none of the above" choice. thus i became... You are Bob Herbert! You're not the most sparkling writer, but one of the most solid and selfless on the Op-Ed staff. You focus on New York politics, the poor, race issues, and civil liberties. You like to quote others, and rarely place yourself in your columns. You keep it real. Seriously. / methinks i shall limp slowly off and recline on a shady branch and ponder this one.... and 'total fox' may apply to your piquant and elusive personality, rodgerd.
• You are Nicholas D. Kristof! You enjoy travelling, going as far as China, Africa, Alaska, and Central America for a good story....
• Who's Nicholas D. Kristof? That's who it said I was, anyway. It also said I was a good man. I liked that part.
• 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 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 kind of consider that to be a complement, besides the bit about lacking a sense of humor. If my answers had led to Maureen Dowd or that tool William Safire, I probably would have been slightly annoyed.
• Nicholas D. Kristof - Who looks like he hasn't changed his hairstyle since 1976.
• That makes sense then. I was born in 1976.
• Sorry, alnedra. /bad speller
• I am also Kristof, mainly because I think Alaska is pretty and China is very interesting (certainly more so than the US, which took up 4 of the 7 choices.) But I've never read any of them. I think I've heard of Krugman.
• I was also Bob Herbert. No way to know if that is good or bad since I never read the NYT's.
• Yeah, I'm frickin' MoDo. /jaded
• You are Nicholas D. Kristof! ... You're a good man, Nicholas D. Kristof. Other than the gender disparity, I think that sounds like a nice result. Now, I just have to go read a column by said man. I don't usually read the NYT's op-ed pages.
• I am *not* Thomas L. Friedman, despite the quiz result. No way am I even the slightest bit pro-war, and the Golden Arch theory made me ROFL. though it would be nice if I could write like he does
• I am Maureen Dowd. And apparently a fox.
• The little "You are X" write-ups are charitable enough to each columnist; perhaps excessively so, in that the one for Friedman does not contain the words "batshit insane". (I was another Krug-Man.)
