I have trouble getting a solid read on William Safire. Like Thompson on the left, I can't quite figure out where he sits on the right wing. I don't think he's moderate, but I do think he has a very clear head for understanding Washington. His op-ed today, in my mind, is something that should open the Bush team's eyes. When a former Nixon aide tells you that you're setting yourself up to fail in Washington, you should take it from him. He's been there.
