Tomgram: Jonathan Schwarz, Bill Kristol's Obscure Masterpiece

posted February 14, 2008 2:58 pm

wherein Jonathon basically says William Kristol is an idiot and then proceeds to back that opinion up.

Surprised?

I'm not.

Here's the exchange when they turn to what will happen to Iraq's Kurds:
"ELLSBERG: The Kurds have every reason to believe they will be betrayed again by the United States, as so often in the past. The spectacle of our inviting Turks into this war... could not have been reassuring to the Kurds...
"KRISTOL: I'm against betraying the Kurds. Surely your point isn't that because we betrayed them in the past we should betray them this time?
"ELLSBERG: Not that we should, just that we will.
"KRISTOL: We will not. We will not."




In 1629, King Charles I granted a charter to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which included the authority to use a seal. It featured an Indian holding an arrow pointed down in a gesture of peace, with the words "Come over and help us," emphasizing the missionary and commercial intentions of the original colonists. This seal was used until 1686, shortly after the charter was annulled, and again from 1689-1692.

Wow, gimmee nine minutes worth of Olbermann any day,but this just made me smack my lips with satisfaction.

Hey, maybe this Valentines' Day wasn't so bad after all :)
