John Podhoretz... webmaster

John Podhoretz, son of the well-known ex-leftist Norman "Making It" Podhoretz, ex-Reagan speechwriter, and co-founder of the conservative Weekly Standard, has been named to succeed Neal Kozodoy as editor of Commentary in 2009.

In the meantime, according to Commentary's press release, Podhoretz will "assume particular responsibility for the development and expansion of our online editorial activities" -- meaning, it seems, Commentary's blogs: Contentions, Connecting the Dots, and The Horizon.

Podhoretz already writes books, newspaper and magazine columns, and appears on Fox News regularly. Now, he's dabbling in the blogosphere. We'll have to keep an eye on him.
