You and Shore should get a room when it comes to your perpetual nastiness concerning columnist Wente.

Maggie still has a column not because she is female but because she is one of the most perceptive and incisive and clear thinking political and social columnists in the country and accordingly is one of the most widely read and commented upon writers in this newspaper.

A few years ago, Wente became the only writer to win the annual award for best major market political and social columnist two years in a row.

There is your explanation not that you will pay any attention to it.

Keep on comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, Wente.

Those of us who can read without using our fingers and lips appreciate the quality and value added information and intellectual provocations of your work!
