Of all the fawning—mostly middle-aged white men—nobody had infatuated eyes more than Bill Kristol..

First among equals as a propagandist posing as a journalist:

Of all the fawning—mostly middle-aged white men—nobody had infatuated eyes more than Bill Kristol...

He'd gone to Alaska on a cruise in June, 2007 and sat across the table from the sexy future of the Republican Party. Much as President Bush, when looking into Vlad Putin‘s eyes, saw his soul, Kristol understood that deliverance for his beloved GOP lived inside this stunning, five foot five inch Aphrodite from Wasilla. Due Diligence was conducted over moose stew, red wine, and winky charm. He did not need to ask about foreign policy or current event expertise. He saw a winner. Kristol began bongo-drumming her out-Mavericking John McCain virtues in every venue at his disposal... In public and to his contacts within the McCain camp, he made it known that she was not only legitimate, but the only intelligent choice if McCain hoped to have any chance in the upcoming election.

1. There was a very similar article in the New Yorker right before the election...

Very consistent reporting on the mooney-eyed Kristol.

2. Republicons evolve from Smirky 'Charm' to Winky 'Charm'

Americans, outside the corporate media, remain uncharmed. We'd like some straightforward intelligence & competence from the RepubliCronies for a change...

3. Read the first page

and by all accounts this should be a major Achilles heel for the twit.

4. Little Billy having some buyer's remorse?

That shiny new model turns out to be an underpowered piece of crap that can't get out of its own way, but Billy's upside down on his car loan for another couple of years, maybe forever.

Boo frickin' hoo, Mr. Kristol.
