SAN DIEGO (AP) -- James Goldsborough, a columnist at the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper who frequently criticized President George W. Bush's administration, has quit after the publisher spiked one of his columns

Goldsborough, 66, said Thursday publisher David Copley pulled a column in which he sought to explain why Jewish voters overwhelmingly supported Democrat John Kerry over Bush, despite the administration's pro-Israel policies.

Harold Fuson, vice-president and general counsel for The Copley Press Inc., which publishes the Union-Tribune, said Copley spiked the column because he thought it might offend some readers.
