Here's the thing about Kristol: has he ever said anything profound? For someone that is purses his lips and assumes the mein of a philosopher prince of politics, his essays and his commentary has been a thin gruel indeed. I read "The Weekly Standard: A Reader: 1995-2005," hoping to see his intellectual pyrotechnics -- and found none. His Times Op-Eds were also duds. Say what you will about a neocon douchebag like Krautahammer, but he reeks of smarts and argues his positions carefully. Kristol only postures.
Could it be this guy is totally overrated? Does the Harvard PhD distract from his lack of writing big thoughts?
Well, didn't Paul Krugman, another asshole who is always wrong, win a Nobel Prize or some shit?

"is purses" = purses; "has been" = have been; "Krautahammer" = Krauthammer.
Also, I think "mein" = "mien"?
Thanks, Hon. Need edit keeeeyyyy ...
I was just being a prick. Misspell all you want. At least what you write is interesting.
This joint is pretty exciting, HonJudge. Very Gawker circa 2004 vibe.
