Who Gets to be Beastman?

Was reading a T.A. Frank article about why Bob Herbert is great (a pretty good case actually) and came across this unexpected treasure:

I feel lousy about saying this. Bob Herbert's on my team. By contrast, I could easily name ten other columnists who seem to make it their mission to find new, untested forms of destruction to bring upon us. If you told me that, say, Charles Krauthammer's articles were ghostwritten by Skeletor, I doubt I'd blink.

If you can slam a rightwing blowhard, and do it by referencing an eighties cartoon villain, you'll have my support everytime.
