More trite than smug, but i'll find a better word. Gail Collins in the smug one. And Charles Blow, and Kristof.

Blow is stupid. I like kristof he is simple practical feet on the ground reporting of mundane daily life trials and tribulations- i greatly respect that

He's apparently mulling running for Governor of Oregon. I'm with Jack Shafer here (who's gotten in some nice digs in other columns too)-

"Will he connect with Oregon voters on the stump, or will he repel them by acting like heтАЩs on a book tour raining his standard sanctimony on the masses? "

I barely read the NYT at all any more, but when I did it struck me as conspicuous that Kristof never met a CIA op he didn't like.
