Kristol floats Justice Alito for 2016 GOP nomination

[DonViejo]

-snip-

Kristol apparently has his eye on former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), retired Gen. Jack Keane, and, in all seriousness, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.

“It may seem odd to suggest that the solution to an already unprecedentedly large field is to expand it further,” the Weekly Standard’s editor writes. “But politics is full of oddities.”

And so are Bill Kristol columns.

I should mention for those unfamiliar with Kristol that, even among Beltway pundits, he’s widely recognized for being wrong, about everything, all of the time. Even some conservatives joke about betting the house on the opposite of anything Kristol predicts. (Consider his recent track record on Trump, for example.)

1. Right, he's often wrong, but he did 'win' one:

Sarah Palin!!!

2. Hold it Kristol is right about something

"politics is full of oddities.”


Oh Bill you are THIS CLOSE to some sort of self awareness. This close.

3. As long as he steps down from the bench before campaigning, I'm all for him running. nt

5. +1. Anything to get him off the court. What an airhead. nt

4. If he does he needs to do what Ex-Justice Hughes did in 1916

when he became the GOP nominee--RESIGN his seat on the court. Boy, Kristol is very concerned about the poor field of candidates.

6. Kristol, who has never ever been correct about anything under the sun.

Poor, poor Bill.

Pitiful! Utterly pitiful.

7. Billy Crystal Would Come Up with a much Better list

8. Oh, sweet Celestia.

This idiot SHPOS still gets his name in the papers? The schnook who has never been right about anything in his miserable life? The goofball who talked McGrump into picking Princess Sparklemoose because he had a schoolboy crush on her?

This character has more bats in his belfry than Bracken Cave.

Kristol continues to fill a desperately needed void.

What a maroon, credit to Bugs Bunny.
