Kristol plays the Marx card

Predictably, the far right has settled on a red-baiting strategy while attacking Obama.

    Somehow

    Kristol is displaying a rapidly declining marginal utility in these NYT op-eds, which is saying something given how bad they have been. Each one has been more asinine than the last, and today's, with that most condescending of closing lines, makes me begin to wonder how much longer he will grace the NYT backpage.

    Personally, I'd say that Obama's list of of accomplishments makes his more qualified than a man known for killing universal health care, running failed campaigns of such luminaries as Alan Keyes, and cheerleading the biggest foreign policy disaster of the last 100 years.
