William "Fifth Column" Safire on the Case In today's column Safire has gotten his staff to scan in what he wrote in the Summer of Saigon's Fall and managed to cut and paste a few new words in. Bill is gettin' old, he doesn't know just how much time he has left in this "JOB"-like condition where the left is "right". Rather than waiting, he wants to get the "blame the left" for the right's bad decisions meme out there early. Sad when Safire is being outwritten by David Brooks isn't it?
