William Kristol - Clinton would've handled Kristina Better
Edited on Tue Sep-06-05 12:06 AM by RamboLiberal
but the f'ing asshole is still glad Bush is President. BTW, that reminds me - you still hear anyone saying they're glad Bush is President and not Gore or Kerry? I grew so sick of that BS after 9-11.

William Kristol, the conservative publisher of The Weekly Standard, said of Mr. Bush: "I do think people think he could have showed stronger leadership." But Mr. Kristol expressed doubt that the hurricane would have much lasting effect on the president's personal and political fortunes, because "people are capable of saying, 'The president kind of screwed this one up, but I still basically agree with him.'"

Mr. Kristol added, "I think the Clinton administration would have done a better job in handling Hurricane Katrina, but I'm also glad Bush is president and not a Democrat."

2. Kristol is a genuine, bonafide maroon. The real thing, through and through
he ain't faking that befuddled, glass-eyed look.

3. And why is that Mr. Kristol?
Because your greedy little soul would rather have your tax cuts than save people's lives.

Now I understand why Jesus said that it is harder for a camel to get through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven.

6. His statement proves that, for him, politics trumps people. Despicable.

8. Sanctity of human life...
So, even according to him, under Clinton more people would have been saved, probably in the thousands, but it's just a minor screw-up on the part of the president, who, as we all know so very well, respects and honors all human life (blah, blah, blah). They would still agree with him that it's more important to rush out of Crawford to save Schiavo than do the same for thousands in NO? Does K. seriously believe that crap? I never liked his politics but always considered him quite smart. I must have been blind!!

13. I hoped that Logic 101 would be useful...
...someday since it was such a boring class.

1. Clinton can handle a disaster better.

2. Bush can handle the destruction of our democracy better.

3. Kristol wants Bush to be president.

4. Kristol wants the destruction of our democracy.

14. HAHAHA! That's the way to make an argument! Just say
I hate Democrats no matter how competent and able they are....just because...so screw you!

The Bush apologists are getting to the end of their rope....their arguments are running thinner and thinner....and are now basically conceding Bush is a shitheaded failure, but so what, he's not a Democrat.

That's pathetic.

20. Kristol has a habit of saying something in all honesty,
catching himself, and then returning to neocon mode.

Sort of like, "That son of a bitch killed my beautiful wife... but I didn't like my wife much anyway."

22. Well, there is a kind of all-purpose insanity to it
Seriously, it goes well with anything. This is the original

Mr. Kristol added, "I think the Clinton administration would have done a better job in handling Hurricane Katrina, but I'm also glad Bush is president and not a Democrat."

And now

Mr. Kristol added, "I think the Clinton administration would have done a better job in handling the economy, but I'm also glad Bush is president and not a Democrat."

Or this, if you like,

Mr. Kristol added, "I think the Clinton administration would have done a better job in handling foreign affairs, but I'm also glad Bush is president and not a Democrat."

Or this

Mr. Kristol added, "I think the Clinton administration would have done a better job in handling education and health care costs, but I'm also glad Bush is president and not a Democrat."

Jesus, it even works for this

Mr. Kristol added, "I think the Clinton administration would have done a better job in handling my dysfunctional relationship with my parents, but I'm also glad Bush is president and not a Democrat."

24. Good!
Party lines are what they care about, not humans, and the more they express that, the more votes they lose.
