Whether you agreed or disagreed with his position, you could almost always count on columnist David Broder to have presented you with the path he took to get there as well as the information on which it was based. You could decide for yourself if he hit the target or missed, and be able to point to where you thought his interpretation went astray.
I also don't remember Broder buying into much of the hysteria of bashing folks with whom he disagreed -- at least, if he did, it was done in a low-key genteel manner that showed more respect than enmity. Mr. Broder's long-serving keyboard falls silent, as he passed away today at 81.
