“What Made The Weekly Standard Great”

Nothing.

The best part of the Weakly Standards was watching the Neocon NeverTrumper flail and fail, only to end up kicking Head Dumbshit Bill Kristol to the curb, and then doubling-down on stupid by putting Deputy Dumbshit Stephen Hayes the job of running it completely into the ground. Incredibly stupid people making incredibly stupid decisions, over and over, learning nothing in the process.

If they only had the hubris and common sense to set aside their personal “feelings” and vanity and simply wrote about what President Trump was accomplishing by applying conservative principles they would be thriving today.

The Bitter Clingers have one less rag to read. I pray the NRO is next.

When the word “neocon” was all the rage, it referred to people like Kristol and the bow-tie at the now largely defunct and disgraced neocon rag.

Weakly Substandard. Little did we know the enemy was within the gates.

Basically the three cited important writers at The Weekly Standard were first discovered by The American Spectator and then got hired away. What sort of accomplishment is that? Also, I don’t think the writers mentioned are the paragons of reporting, literary achievement and analysis the author claims them to be. They impressed only the world of neocons. They are rigidly narrow-minded and treated other conservatives as pariahs. No one could sneer with more gusto than Bill Kristol. His opinion of himself was far out of line with his ability to think and write cogently on any topic. It is a well-deserved demise for a pretentious magazine.

The left loves dead Republicans. They also love dead “Republican” publications.

“Quarter Century” is 25 years.

I’ve lived twice that.

What a total failure on every level.

My only question is where does Kristol buy his hosiery?
