jQuery selector for all the cols except the first col on a table

I want to apply right alignment for all the columns except for the first column.

I wrote the following, but which is working fine. But how can i combine these to statements in to one line.

$("table.ftable tr:gt(0)").css("text-align", "right");
$("table.ftable td:first-child").css("text-align", "left");

Any Ideas..?

try using CSS in a style sheet. avoid js to css at all costs if you can!.. an accumulation of these will make your app slower.

table td {
   text-align:right;
}

table tr td:first-child {
    text-align: left !important;
}
