That Weekly Standard cover will be framed, and on the wall the first day Hillary sits down in the Oval Office.

cleverly titled "McCain and Obama" had a lovely premature misconceptions ring to it as well.

I cannot stand Bill Kristol not because his idology or belief, but his ever-ending hatred toward Clintons and his eagerness to go as far as he can to strip off Clinton's dignity.

We live in a diverse society, which requires tolerance.

Where is Bill Kristol's tolerance? His way of degrading Clinton is simply an exercise of hatred. What does this attitude can contribute to the society as a whole? If he keeps this practice, he only shrinks himself into a small man.

Rick Moran, Bill Kristol, they just make shit up. do they think foreign policy or elections are like fantasy football leagues? Is that what conservatism is about, making shit up and then weaseling out of any accountability for the substance of their accusations and proclamations. This is the best the educated right has to offer?

is dumber than a bag of rocks. Its really pretty funny to watch him and his "colleagues" pretend to be intellectuals like their parents sort of were.

Sorry guys. You're quite serviceable as rank propagandists but lovers of truth you most certainly are not. Socrates would have no respect for you sophists.

I got one of their quarterly solicitations today complete with business reply envelope. So I jotted down on the subscription blank that I won't subscribe to them while they're acting as a pulpit for the propagandist Kristol, because I may as well read the New York Post and returned it to em. It gave me some feeling of satisfaction, anyway.

anyone who does commentary of commentary of commentary----will have a short-lived commentary career.

sorry--not in the oooh-aaah crowd.

A nation comprised of about 30% shooter242s has about 80% of its journalists of caliber around that of Kristol. Just how did that happen?

While I agree that it's a fallacy to assume that criticism of X is support of Y, the more I read these boiled-down versions of right-wing commentators, the more they sound like the trash-talk athlete clips that precede sporting events like the Super Bowl. TNR and The Weekly Standard aren't reporting the news or anything like it. They're telling their fans that "We're gonna win!"

Thank you, Senator Obama. You've defeated Senator Clinton in Iowa. It looks as if you're about to beat her in New Hampshire. There will be no Clinton Restoration. A nation turns its grateful eyes to you.

This coming from somebody who is sincerely convinced the "Bush restoration" he help advance via his right wing propaganda is still viable.

This week's issue (the content of which, tragically, is available only to the handful of Weekly Standard subscribers)

I fail to see the tragedy in this. It seems akin to mourning the fact that venereal disease is available only to those who practice unsafe sex.

Glenn, you're the best. I laughed out loud at this one and was frankly ashamed how many times yesterday I kept looking for your post...watching those returns come in...

I don't think there's been more visual and immediate evidence to support some of your themes here, and it's a sad state for our society and the role of the media in democracy, but I think you have to admit, hilarious as well. The first editorial in the Times! The first paragraph! The cover of the issue on news stands! One of those moments that the use of exclamation points is actually acceptable.

If I was a girly man I would have laughed til I cried.

I laughed hysterically when I read, "Bill Kristol, Son of Irv" and then came across "Andy Rosenthal, Son of Abe". It's a brilliant rhetorical device that highlights an important truth: if these folks were not members of the Lucky Sperm Club, as Warren Buffet put it so well, most of them would be nothing. No influence, no power, no high profile job.

I'm waiting for "Jonah Goldberg, Son of Lucianne..." Thanks for a good laugh today, Glenn. What a great way to highlight an important but hidden issue, nepotism in the Republican party.

I've known Bill Kristol was a smarmy, toothy-smiled huckster.

I've never seen him so lost. Perhaps he will regain his bearings soon. Until then---Get better, li'l buddy!

P.O. 101

Md. 21722.

...of Billie Jean King v Bobby Riggs:

I also do think that if Obama had decisively won New Hampshire, a state in which Clinton had an almost unparalleled campaign apparatus for a long time, this would have made him nearly unstoppable for the nomination.

Before the match, the coverage was all about what a superior tennis player Riggs was, given his age and experience, I guess. After the match, it was all about how much stronger King was, more muscular and more fit. The press performed similarly yesterday.

If you look at the percentages,the polls had Barack Obama getting 37% of the vote. He did. They had Edwards getting 19%. He got 17%, within the margin of error. They had Hillary at 30%. She beat that by 9%. But they could have spared themselves embarrassment by simply acknowledging what percent of the voters were "undecided."

If people didn't get so hysterical about having to make predictions and judgments and just looked at polls as information, the way a nurse looks at taking a temperature, this would all be a tempest in a teapot.

"Undecided" was the difference. A lot of people made up their minds at the last minute to vote for Hillary. If the polls had counted them and admitted that there were enough of them to change the whole equation, we'd have nothing to talk about.

Since Kristol wrote "There will be no Clinton Restoration," we knew the opposite had to be true.

i have ZERO love lost for the clitons: bill is a war kriminal and power elite playa, and hill is a potential war kriminal and power elite playa, and they have both done grave disservice to 'liberalism' (*ptui*) in out-rethugging the rethugnacans as DLC puppetmasters... (etc)

HOWEVER, the tape i saw of hill's 'crying' (sic) and 'overemotional' 'breakdown' showed her as much of a sympathetic, sincere, and real human bean as i have EVER seen her...

(NOT that i would EVER vote for such a political sellout, but it was about the only 'humanizing' moment i have seen of her i can recall...)

sorry kampers, no time for tomfoolery, gotta put the nose to the grindstone...
