They might both diss Bush from time to time, but for very different reasons usually.

I always thougt it was possible that it was a "good cop" / "bad cop" kind of thing. Each of them peel away opposite sides of the Republican party and ultimately weaken the numbers of the party itself.

If one's goal was to benefit the opposition while pretending to be a disillusioned loyalist, the Kristol/Keyes tag team would be a perfect scam. Just a thought ???????

I would think you would tire of trotting out the Keyes/Kristol conspiracy theory...there's a war on, we need to save the tinfoil for the scrap drives, ya know?

Well I don't think it was a conspiracy, although it may be both desired taking Bush down in some part of their brain. At most, it was a conscious parallelism (that is an antitrust law term). But the public stand at the end was a tepid support of Bush, even as Kristol, quite accurately as it turned out, thought that Bush would lose the popular vote by 1%.
