Kristol was pushing for Palin way back at the start.
He always has to play the jackass, and throw feints and dodges here and there, but early on he was a Sarah stalwart, believe it or not.
I remember him being on Fox after her convention speech and he was proud as punch.
Below is a clip I dug up. There are plenty of others. This is an insulting piece as regards Palin, but it does point to Kristol as one of if not the earliest Palin supporter.
Yes, he did, along with a handful of us freepers that were following her since she got the Governorship in 06'. Kristol might be a RINO and at times, and at times we can't stand him, but maybe just maybe he is looking at the field for 16' and seeing a train wreck between Christie, and Santorum and the Huckster thinking they still have a chance and want to throw their hat in ditto that the warm bowl of Mush Jeb Bush is uggh, gag me on that one.
He's no dummy, we need someone that excites, we tried two dullard's and got our @$$es handed to us, maybe just maybe even he wants to win this time around...
I guess we’ll always remember it differently.
“”Kristol was pushing for Palin way back at the start.”
True.
Wow I didn’t realize that, until right now.
Way to support Palin early.
Way to go Kristol.
He certainly gave impression years ago to be a Palin supporter, but dumped her when the going got tough.
I no longer trust the man since he repeatedly trashed Sarah, and now he is a regular on Morning Joe I understand
He is garbage and so is Morning Joe
But I love Sarah
Exactly—he was solidly behind her in the past—and subsequently took a lot of grief for it.
