I agree with you completely about Kristol and it was his comments TODAY that convinced me. This man is a know-nothing who wishes to hell he knew something.
Way I figure, Kristol is an advisor for the shadow government, keeps them updated on all things Republican. Then he carries their water back as talking points on the talk shows.
This way, Kristol becomes somebody from being a nobody.
Insert wink here.
You're 'figuring' sounds very plausible to me!
