I think he's getting old and doesn't do it so much anymore. But the long-form political journalism/opion done by P.J. O'Rourke through the '80s and '90s is among my favorite and I think good reading for anybody willing to read politics don't match the personal filter.

Nothing good ever comes from short form political journalism. To function it requires incestuous conflict-of-interest relationships that undermine rather than build up quality journalism.
On TV I enjoy the deep knowledge of Jeff Greenfield of CBS (and formerly CNN) but ultimately he gets screwed by the ADD of the format.
