The New York Times Hires Total Fuck-Up

Bill Kristol?

BILL KRISTOL????

I know dozens of writers who are qualified to write opinion essays for the New York Times. But, alas, I guess they haven’t publicly promoted/masterminded an illegal invasion of another country which subsequently accumulated 32,000 American casualties, scores of dead civilians, and a sectarian civil war without any end in sight.

Tell me one thing that Bill Kristol got right about the war, and I’ll take back all the flagrantly ad hominem shit I’ve said about him privately — like all the times I called him a disingenuous medieval eunuch, or a pasty muppet, or a smug fuckwit, or a hackish grinning Shmoo. I’ll take all of it back.

    I knew I could count on you to not let that go unnoticed. Their decision defies logic, really.

    I’m frankly bewildered by this, myself. I thought maybe, just maybe, his leaving Time meant Kristol would get less attention for his neocon apologetics, but clearly I was very, very wrong.

    Tell me one thing that Bill Kristol got right about the warUh, Kristol said we ought to have one in Iraq, and lo and behold, that’s where we wound up having it?Seriously, if I read one more moderate/centrist person blathering about Kristol’s skill as a writer which cannot be ignored, you know, even though, okay fair enough, he is a neocon, I am going to throw up all over my Chicago Style manual.Jesus, I could write rings around him while blindfolded and blind drunk. But as you point out, I haven’t masterminded or been the cause of any large-scale invasions lately, none that I’m aware of anyway.
