Before you put the final touches on Senator Obama's speech, it's still not too late to crib from Bill Kristol's column suggesting that the the senator might want to follow in JFK's footsteps and talk about achieving victory: Speaking on...

I can see their point. After all, they've let Bill Kristol print fact-free, content-free, slam pieces since he's been hired. Shit, MoDo too. They figure, if Bill and Maureen can write un-to-thinly sourced nonsense about Obama, Democrats and war, why the fuck can't McCain? Since when did the Times op-ed page start caring what they published?

Somehow I think Bill Kristol's tongue is planted firmly in his cheek: [...] I'm hoping it means that Obama in Berlin will go beyond the anodyne message his campaign advertised Sunday [July 20] a discussion of the historic U.S.-German...

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Mike Mullen, appeared on FOX today and delivered a message that’s sure to upset Bill Kristol and the rest of the neocon armchair generals.

It’s FOX NEWS SUNDAY, which means more idiocy with William the Bloody. Too bad for Bill that Maliki endorsed Obama’s Iraq plan of withdrawal—which basically makes him out to look more ridiculous than he normally does. There are no warmongering mountains too high for William the Bloody to climb. He’s going way over the [...]

On Fox News Sunday (FNS) today, Bill Kristol, the Jacobin publisher of the "Weekly Standard" said "I was invited to Fort Hood with a small group to talk to General Odierno who is taking over in Iraq..." Several months ago...

by hilzoy I have to respectfully disagree with publius. While Gerson might be battling it out with Richard Cohen and Bill Kristol for the title of Most Fatuous Columnist, for my money the worst op-ed writer is still Charles Krauthammer....

One thing that comes with a six-figure (minimum) salary for punditry is a complete lack of creativity. Yes, the MEME must be renewed, revisited, restated, regurgitated. From Bill Kristol, to Ron Fournier, to Chuckles Krauthammer the theme must be laid down. The black man is arrogant! Americans are beginning to notice Obama's elevated opinion of himself. There's nothing new about narcissism in politics....

I am (slowly) catching up on my missed reading. There has, in my absence, been a lot of silliness. The Absurd — Bill Kristol, in eulogizing Tony Snow, writes: For quite a while now, optimism has had a bad reputation in intellectual circles. The fashionable books of my youth — and they are good books — were [...]

Maybe it's because The New York Times declares itself to be the "paper of record" (and then hires Bill Kristol ) that we are all so quick to point out its shortcomings. Or maybe it was the fact they tried to get us to pay for their opinion. Or maybe it was that whole WMD thing. No doubt, everyone has their own reason. Over at VF Daily , a number of men folk are hashing out why it's just so darn easy...

If watching Bill Kristol didn't give viewers enough radical right talking points this morning 7/16/08 they got a chance to top themselves off with a segment from anti-tax fanatic Grover Norquist (who famously said . "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." The people of New Orleans got the drowning while he got his...

Bill Kristol had a segment to himself this morning 7/16/08 on FOX and Friends, responding to a "new" ad from Vets for Freedom that looks exactly like the "old" ad - people saying the surge is working and beseeching the next president to not ruin their progress. It is widely taken as supportive of McCain, who has no intention of getting US out of Iraq anytime soon. With video...

Bill Kristol suggested in his column just before July 4th that the following letter from Thomas Jefferson to Roger C. Weightman, written on June 24, 1826, be read alongside the Declaration on Independence Day. Although it may not always be wise to take Mr. Kristol's advice, I think he is right on here, the letter is certainly worth a read: The kind invitation I receive from you on the part of the...

I have come to look forward to reading and commenting on Bill Kristol’s “much-awaited” Monday morning column in the New York Times. Usually there is plenty to comment on and to set the record straight in his writings. As fate would have it, Kristol has written two columns within one month’s time in which he himself set the record straight–in a fitting and most commendable way. Yesterday, in “ The...
