Kristol on the other hand is a worm, something that lives in the muck at the bottom of a pond. With Kristol it has become psychotic, paranoid, revenge driven hate. Kristol is still dressed in the same bathrobe and slippers he wore on election night. He toddles around his condo, latte in hand, plotting the counterrevolution that will never be.
He does not live in “the muck at the bottom of a pond.” He lives in the muck at the bottom of a septic tank.
