He went up to Alaska and found her for McCain. Maybe he is trying to challenge her into running for something.

Kristol is the liberal on FOX “News” with liberal
pro-Obama Hume.

Astonishingly, FOX “News” is so pro Obama
and so pro al Qaeda, that the MOST CONSERVATIVE
commentator ... is Juan Williams.

Kristol is to the LEFT of Juan Williams.

Krystol belongs to the same club as Lindsey Graham, if u know what I mean. I don’t pay any attention to what he has to say.

Will these stupid establishment Republicans shake themselves and please wake the hell up. Watching this constant GOP circular firing squad is tiring.

It's been a long while since he lost his fastball.

He's now a connoisseur of the screwball.

[kabar]

Can anyone imagine a Dem pundit saying something like that about a prominent Democrat? The GOP loves to form circular firing squads.

I like her but not enough to put her in a top spot. I think she would be far more effective to put her name and energies into one of the better organized 3rd parties and get some genuine competition in place. May not do a lot for her ambitions, what ever that would be, but could do wonders for the country.

PDS is obviously eternal. What made this jerk think of Palin? Does Romney have a political future? That thought would never enter his mind because he’s enamored with Palin 24/7.

[BerryDingle]

Yet for some reason the GOP establishment holds Kristol in high regard when I think the man projects the intestinal fortitude of a sponge.

Kristol would panic riding a pony with an adult leading it.

I loath the GOP establishment

[bigbob]

This is actually very correct. When you think of the essense of the GOP, don’t think of Boehner or Christie...think instead of Bill Kriston. Mealy-mouthed, paid to say whatever makes him the most money, insider, elitist - the archetype inside the Beltway no-balls, no power, go-along to get-along type. That is exactly right.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Kristol's a neocon, with emphasis on 'con'.

Has he walked back his undying support of the useless Iraq and Afghanistan invasions and subsequent lame and impossible attempts at nation-building?

[PghBaldy]

What is she doing now? Is she running for anything? I don’t think she is. Could he just be expressing an opinion (poorly worded), instead of making a judgement call about her capabilities?

[Billthedrill]

Well, not to put too fine a point on it, Palin has a present in U.S. politics, and the degree to which the Establishment is in denial of this obvious fact astonishes me. This isn't hard. If she were as marginal as her critics insist, we wouldn't be having constant stories about how marginal she is.

As a candidate, we do not know, and were I advising her I'd tell her to pick her fight carefully. But one need not be a candidate to exhibit political potency.

[Bryan24]

Krystal is “GOP ESTABLISHMENT”. The establishment doesn’t want her. He got called onto the carpet for “endorsing” her. He had to come back and quench the fire for the Establishment.
