Tonight I find myself tending to agree with all sorts of Fox-y people with whom I otherwise have very little in common about National Public Radio's sudden firing of Juan Williams. I am not a dedicated Juanhead nor any friend of Bill O'Reilly, but in this instance it seems like NPR played politically correct bully at least as much as Williams played politically incorrect bully. It now sounds like Williams will profit handsomely from NPR's rush to judgment, but that doesn't make it right -- even for a PC liberal like me.
