Danny Doom’s Booze Cabinet

These are the magic words I have been waiting for:

This is William Kristol’s last column.

I would hate to take credit for Bill’s unemployment at the New York Times, but I will if necessary. The column is typically nutty, full of the revisionist history that Kristol is infamous for. He lost me right off the bat:

Conservatives have been right more often than not — and more often than liberals — about most of the important issues of the day.

Wrong again! I’m sure Irving’s son will still spout his fish lips on other outlets, but it’s good to clear him off the esteemed pages of the New York Times. Victory is mine!

Thanks to Nikkos for the tip!

Bill Kristol is the gift that keeps on re-gifting itself. I see where Andy Sullivan went back and re-read Kristol Ball’s book from just a few years ago–man, would I feel dumb if I had that on my bookshelf–and not surprisingly, his shit is all wrong wrong wrong!

its tone and content are shockingly off-base, and most of its core assertions and arguments categorically refuted by history. In fact, it would be very hard to think of a piece of analysis so riddled with misconceptions and errors and so self-evidently wrong in almost every respect only five years later.

How is this man on television and in print on a regular basis, getting paid to spout his always-wrong bullshit? It’s quite amazing. He must…know people? Ah, that’s it. Sullivan follows up:

Look: we all get things wrong. But that means a responsibility to set them right. Has Kristol ever publicly acknowledged or taken responsibility for these flatly wrong assertions of his, assertions that led to a war that gave us the slaughter, ethnic cleansing, torture and displacement of hundreds of thousands of people?

Nope, he’s just like his president.
