Please, please, please, hire John Lansdale as a weekly columnist in The Pilot. Frankly, I’m tired of his almost weekly liberal (mostly unsubstantiated) attacks on the Bush administration.

When you have a candidate like Kerry with a woeful record to run on, that’s all you can do — attack, attack, attack the other side.

What will Mr. Lansdale do when Bush wins the election? Does that mean four more years of his rantings? If so, I recommend that The Pilot hire Mr. Lansdale as a weekly columnist and place his column next to that of his liberal companion Dusty Rhoades. That way I will know for sure which part of the Opinion section to pass over.
