Ah, Billy, you’ll be missed. Ha! Just joking. We’ll still have The Cabbage to regularly spew nonsensical drivel from the right, and he’s ever so much more amusing.

Still, only a true champ like Kristol, in the midst of what will be this century’s touchstone for record-breaking economic disaster, in the midst of a pointless and incredibly expensive war, and following the campaign of Sarah Palin, could write a line like “Conservatives of the Reagan-Bush-Gingrich-Bush years have a fair amount to be proud of.” For publication, no less! That’s an outstanding talent. (Out standing in a field, as it were.)

For some reason I’m reminded of the joke about the young boy who happily jumps up and down when he is given a room full of manure for his birthday: “There must be a pony in here somewhere!!”

See ya, Bill. Don’t let the door hit ya, etc.

HufPost thinks Krystol was let go by the Times because he is not far enough to the right. Go figure.

joanr16,
No surprise there – Wingnutg Welfare comes to the rescue!!!

But wait, isn’t Hiatt one of the 25 most Liberal bloggers, or Liberal something-or-others, or whatever the f’ing nonsense that was spouted last week?
Jeez, I guess that Liberal Hiatt felt the Wa Po was weighed way to far to the left, so he added that neo-con, intellellectual dingleberry Kristol to provide balance.

Jesus, I swear, sometime about 30 years ago, I either went down a rabbit hole, or stepped throught a mirror…
I feel like that kid on the Twilight Zone episode who disappears in her own room and is crying out for her parent’s to get her out before the dimensional hole she stepped through closes behind her forever.
“Barack… Barack!!! Save us! SAVE ME!!!”

Kristol is heading over to The Washington Post apparently. Hiatt I suppose hasn’t gotten the word that the Republicanism of the last 30 years has been a complete failure at the national level.

Ack! Joanr16 just beat me to it!!

We laughed too soon, Gulag!

I just heard he’s moving to the Washington Post.

Man, we had such excellent retirement plans for him!

he’s retiring to the planet Uranus

Returning home, I take it!

Kristol and Sarah P will hunt those unicorns and ponies from helicopters. Sarah can field-dress a unicorn in under 3 minutes. I don’t have the stomach to ask what they do with the horn.

joanr16,
Why, he’s retiring to the planet Uranus. It’s the planet conservatives get all of their idea’s from. We always asked them, “Where’d you pull that idea out of, your ….? Now, it’s their official conservative planet.
The planet has unicorns and ponies all over. Where there are rivers and oceans of chocolate – the milk kind, not that bitter black stuff. Where Cuban cigars grow on trees and it rains single-malt scotch.
Where there are only white people; and the women do whatever the men say.

I guess it came crystal clear to the NY Times that, after a year of giving him valuable space, Bill Kistol brought nothing to the table. His writing was pedestrian, at best. His subject matter vanilla, topped by anti-liberal rants and support for right-wing nuts. And the only thing he was ever right about in his life, as far as i can determine, was about health-care in 1993 when he said conservatives couldn’t let the Democrat’s succeed with a middle-class program that worked. It would prevent Rethug’s from being elected for years.
Say what you will about George Will, while I disagree with him 99.9% of the time, at least the man can write an engaging sentence.

Kristol, like Bush, is now irrelevant.

When Kristol says, “Conservative policies have on the whole worked”, what he means is:

Conservative policies have succeeded in their goal of the destruction of the middle class, the destruction of manufacturing in America, the reduction of numbers of the unionized workforce, the enrichment of the obscenely wealthy, the impoverishment of the vast majority of Americans, reducing personal freedom for citizens, socializing financial losses, creating a fascist police state, spying on civilians solely to increase profits for the prison industry, starting wars just for the enrichment of war profiteers, and much, much more.

See, it all depends on understanding the language of conservatives, War on Earth, Hatred for all Mankind.
