Our item prompted a comment from a reader who thinks Littwin's less easily pigeonholed than most people acknowledge.

Please do not move Littwin or shorten his columns. It took me a while to really believe in the balance of Littwin's views. I cherish reading his column now every day, whether I read anything else in the Post or not -- and I do read it all. He's a rare find who looks like a refugee from Haight-Asbury and writes with care giving in depth perspective to the most important news of the day. You can't classify him as a liberal or conservative, only as one hell of a good observer and commentator.
