Aside from the mendacity of McCain in hiring another Weekly Standard fascist, we have the spectacle of William Kristol himself in this morning's NYTimes berating Barack Obama for. . . yes, you guessed it, not explicitly urging Wesleyan U graduates to join the Army as a form of public service in his commencement address, but instead simply urging them to serve! Apparently, Kristol feels comfortable spouting such obscene tripe on the pages of the "liberal" NYTimes. Kristol, of course, was of draft age during the Vietnam era, but didn't serve. Nor did he devote himself to ANY alternative service. But of course, when you are someone who serves those with near dictatorial powers, a certain attitude of moral superiority seems to allow you render judgment on your inferiors. What a snotty ass he is. I wonder what it took to produce such a piggish man? What youthful traumas in the Irving Kristol family? What form of abuse?
