Bill Kristol Picks a Frontrunner
The Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol--a longtime McCainiac--anoints Rudy G "the genuine frontrunner" in a conversation at CPAC with Reader's Digest's William Beaman. And laments the slippage of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz).:
In my conversation with Bill Kristol, we kicked around whether McCain has lost some of his energy and drive, due to age (he'd be the oldest elected president ever). "If so, that would be a shame," Bill said. He's long been an admirer of McCain and a past supporter of him for president. But he, like everyone in Washington, has been looking for signs that McCain will kick into a higher gear, rather than show that he's slowing down. At best, his absence from CPAC kept his campaign bus in neutral. At worst, he slipped it into reverse.

Bill Kristol has been grotesquely wrong about everything. He's the architect of the worst foreign policy since the Wilson administration. The fact that he isn't living out of a cardboard box is definitive proof that there is no god.

A friend of Bill Kristol is an enemy of mine.

Being a pundit is a weird gig. Once you learn the secret handshake or something there's no amount of wrong you can be and still people want to give you a soapbox.

Billy boy Kristol is a parasite. He wrote back in 2004 if the Bushians dumped his foreign policy he'd gladly hitch his wagon to John Kerry. Give this little Trotskyite the hook.
