Agree about columnists

Sun., Jan. 1, 2017

Thank you, Spokesman-Review, for publishing Kay Johnson’s Dec. 17 letter. I agree with Johnson completely on the four columnists mentioned: Leonard Pitts, Robert Samuelson, Kathleen Parker and Charles Krauthammer.

Pitts reminds us to be constantly vigilant of racism; Samuelson clarifies economic issues and concepts for me. I find Parker’s articles clear, witty, simplistic and laced with common sense; and indeed, Krauthammer provokes irritation for me, too.

Great letter, Kay, I couldn’t agree more.
