I'm disappointed to hear this about Juan Williams. I was familiar with his work on NPR but not on Fox News. I never noticed that he had a conservative streak. Thanks for calling my attention to this.

Here's an interesting blog article about Williams by Boyce Watkins. Watkins criticizes Williams for kissing up to Bill O'Reilly. He called Williams a "Happy Negro" (which strikes me as a milder term than "Uncle Tom"—but I'm not sure about that). He says, "On CNN, I compared O'Reilly's use of Williams to Hugh Hefner hiring a stripper to tell him that he's not a sexist."
