Hmmmm. If Kristol is happy, I'm a little worried. Maybe this is one of those rare times when he might actually see beyond his own ego and be satisfied with a decision that he didn't have a direct influence on.
Me too. Actually I am more than a little worried.
Kristol seems to follow McCain's lead, and McCain and most of Washington is estatic at GWB's nomination of Judge Roberts...which is to say, most of Washington is trying to warn the Dems to not get slaughtered in this fight. Roberts is untouchable.
Moreover, most of Washington knows that President Bush picked this fight deliberately; the Prime Time announcement of a young White male gives that fact away. The radicals may still take the bait, of course, which would give us an end to the filibuster...because Judge Roberts *will* be confirmed.
I too scrutinize everything that comes out of Kristol's pie-hole, -watching him acquiesce and to ascribe to Conservative notions on FOX.
It's kind of interesting to watch his eyebrows knit us stories of just how brilliant George W was, or, -what a stunning blow the Conservative's dealt to the Left today.
He delivers the news almost apologetically, with a worrisome or apologetic demeanor. He's acts nervous, like a dog that just got busted snatching a steak off the table ;>
I just can't help but think of him as being a bit too eager to sport the words and ideas that will keep him in the loop as a Frequent Fox 'analyst' Talking Head.
He's nothing more than a gossip to me.
I guess it's petty, but what I'm saying here is that his creepy facial expressions give him a distrustful appearance.
I could very well be wrong about that, he may be a truly decent person.
BUT -He Cashed in on trashing Hillary.
It was fun, but it still makes him a loser in the long run and relegates him to the Hedda Hopper Basket.
Before everyone gets all excited about this Justice you might want to read this quote from him
"Roe v. Wade is the settled law of the land. ... There is nothing in my personal views that would prevent me from fully and faithfully applying that precedent."
