Dale,

I was actually appalled by Joe Klein's comments. Whether or not Krauthammer is confined to a wheelchair has absolutely no bearing on his ability to pursue what is essentially an intellectual career. I hope that Klein apologizes for his remarks.

Krauthammer, who at last count had one more Pulitzer than Klein, has led an enormously productive and varied life. I would suggest that you spend a few minutes with Krauthammer's Wikipedia bio. I think that you will find that he has less "ideological orthodoxy" than 99% of the people posting on SI.

Krauthammer is generally considered a conservative;[23] he has also been called a neoconservative.[24] However, on domestic issues, Krauthammer is a supporter of legalized abortion;[25][26][27] an opponent of the death penalty;[28][29][30][31] an intelligent design critic and an advocate for the scientific consensus on evolution, calling the religion-science controversy a "false conflict;"[32][33] a supporter of embryonic stem cell research using embryos discarded by fertility clinics with restrictions in its applications;[34][35][36] and a longtime advocate of radically higher energy taxes to induce conservation.[37][38][39][40] Meg Greenfield, editorial page editor for The Washington Post who edited Krauthammer's columns for 15 years, called his weekly column "independent and hard to peg politically. It's a very tough column. There's no 'trendy' in it. You never know what is going to happen next."[3]
