Speaking of PBS, today was Safire's last day on Lehrer. I like to listen to what Brooks has to say, but I'll miss Safire. Sad to see him go back to "being a pencil." Derek

This is from the Post's TV column. <snip>Professional conservative Tucker Carlson, who said recently that the ideal president would be someone who felt that "in Washington we know what's best for you and we are going to do it regardless of what you think," has been signed by PBS to host a half-hour weekly prime-time public affairs program. The as-yet-unnamed series will be produced by Washington public TV station WETA and is set to launch in June. It will feature both regular and guest commentators and, PBS promises, will "offer a lively discussion of the weekly news stories from a wide range of perspectives." Carlson is also one of the shouting heads on CNN's weekday public affairs show "Crossfire," which offers a lively discussion of the day's news stories from a wide range of perspectives -- Republican and Democratic. PBS's best known public affairs program hosted by a conservative was, of course, "Firing Line," with William F. Buckley, which aired from 1966 to 1999. "The McLaughlin Group" is not distributed by PBS but is available to PBS stations. <snip> washingtonpost.com
