I bet he wishes he could take back his comments that the Arab Spring in Egypt was gonna be a good thing... I am gonna try to turn a new leaf here and hold back on what I really think of him lately...
She has a young, special needs, child. Resigning is the thing I admire most about her. That so many of us think it's a failure is sick.
Kristol? That's to get money -- plus it's like a free vacation for the staff. National Review does it. The Nation does it. Unless you've got billions in your portfolio, if you run a political magazine, you probably try something like that, since those magazines really aren't designed to show profit and barely break even most of the time.
What Kristol said is what a lot of people have wondered about. If a "political future" means being a commentator and giving speeches, Sarah Palin has a political future. If it means running for president, she's probably going to have to get herself elected to the Senate and serve there before that happens. It's not clear that she wants a "political future" of that sort, but does anybody really think higher office is going to fall into her lap or be given to her by acclamation?
Especially when idiots like Bill Kristol, who know perfectly well why Palin left her post, refuse to tell them.
The Weekly Standard is still being published? Who knew?
Someday, there will be statues of Palin, and people will say “Bill who?”
The Mediaite writeup is unduly negative—watch the whole clip. Bill actually repeated and stood by his comments, despite having Joe and Mika and Nicole Wallace all egging him to reneg.
Now, I like Sarah -- I'd vote for her in a heartbeat. But most people, including a substantial number of Republican,s don't. It's not fair; it's not sensible; it's not logical.
But it's the case. Spare us, please, the de rigueur smearing of Kristol for pointing out the obvious.
Billy boy, you change your tune more often than the octagon mom changes diapers. Truly, few are interested in what you think. Such a shame you turned out the way you are. Just one question before we totally cast you aside... Are you planning the same fate for Liz Chaney that you had for Sarah? You and McLame are certainly a pair. Throw in Grahamnasty and we’d have three of a kind.
