Executive summary: Founding editor of Slate Michael Kinsley is an omnipresent pundit, writing from a slightly left of center perspective. He was the founding editor of Slate, a long-time contributing writer at Time, co-host "from the left" on CNN's Crossfire for six years, twice editor of The New Republic magazine, and a former editor of Harpers and the Washington Monthly. In December 2001 Kinsley announced that he had Parkinson's disease and subsequently stepped down from Slate, but in early 2004 he accepted an editorial position at the Los Angeles Times, and he has since bounced from The Atlantic to Politico. Long ago he was the moderator for William F. Buckley's television debate show Firing Line. Wife: Patty Stonesifer (President of the Gates Foundation)
