That would be Tom Friedman. Hands down. Also, a few years ago, Maureen Dowd.

Liz Smith Is Split Over Favorite Columnists

Golly! You are a hard taskmaster demanding only one when I have to name Frank Rich and Gail Collins of The New York Times and Anna Quindlen and Fareed Zakaria of Newsweek.

I like Eugene Robinson very much as well as Frank Rich.   Miss Molly Ivins terribly.  I live in Texas and she kept me from escaping the state.  Now I’m too old and tired!

  I read the oncology nurse and the pediatrician in the NYT Health section to keep track of some of the ethics and patient concern issues.  Then I read widely in the blogs, mostly left but quite a few right to keep up with who is thinking what and why.
