Wolcott - he does things with words that most Republicans would probably want outlawed because they're too sensual and stimulating...

Digby combines outrage with sarcasm and sagacity, he uses words as a surgeon wields the scalpel, or as SEALS use HE, depending on the need.
But mostly, he thinks with an amazing clarity that sickens me with the ease it appears on his blog, just disgusts me with him saying things better than I could or do.
But that's okay, I'm alright with it, so long as he doesn't bugger off like Billmon or The Horse did.

Nails it, every time out, and this while on chemo.
Her chosen subject interests me, but this
writer could handle any subject and reduce
it to its core in a couple of succinct,
bulls-eye (heh) paragraphs.
A writer's writer, pure and simple. A journeywoman
who takes the stone and finds the form.

Few can rippingly vent the spleen or lovingly convey the sweetness of a toddler's smile as well
(or within the same post, for that matter) as Drifty. With his verbal toolbox, he can
effortlessly carve a rough, bloody "D" in a target's argument or build a prose-powered
super-collider that generates a finely-targeted death-ray to winger bullsh*t.
An inspiration. :)

Digby. I love Wolcott, but he's a true pro who has a great forum every month in Vanity Fair. Digby brings it every day. If they ever ask anyone from blogtopia who should represent blue-state america on the Wapo online, I say Digby's the one.

Michael Berube Online gets my vote (w/apologies to Reddhead, Digby, and Glenn Greenwald, all wonderful in their own way) - however, Michael, if you had a special font for satire, it would help me.
