And some of us are rejoicing that The President has by-passed the usual routes-of-ascendency (Yale, Harvard) and picked someone with real values that mean something.

I just watch NBC put on Kristol who flat out slammed Bush for picking Miers.

Funny ... why would the 'neo cons' reject Miers so quickly? And why is the MSM so delightfully giving them so much air time to voice their dismay and disgust?

My guess: the neo cons can be seen (because they are Republican, really) as the best way to go after Harriet; and thus preserve what little respectibility the demonrats have left.

btw, I forget ... did Kristol go to Harvard ... or was it Yale?

The neocons don't much like social conservatives. We aren't "sophisticated."

I will never forget Tyrell's excellent comment on Kristol. Tyrell said Kristol is the kind of guy who likes to sit around in a smoking jacket (even though he doesn't smoke) and sip brandy in his study.

Kristol has been gunning for the President since the spring of 2001. After the election, there was a short period where he supported the President, until it became obvious he wasn't going to be hired by the White House. The only time that Kristol has supported the President's policies is the WOT, and I actually think this was done because McCain supported it.

Bill Kristol wouldn't be caught dead at a Right to Life function. I have no idea whether or not he believes in abortion or not; it's simply that he wouldn't like to be around all those people who didn't go to Harvard, like bowling or bass fishing, and watch "Everybody Loves Raymond." HA!
