Fight Back, Mr. President
Anti-American little puke who never served a day in military tells AWOL Bush to "fight".

Fight Back, Mr. President

Shouldn't the president defend his honor?

by William Kristol

11/14/2005, Volume 011, Issue 09

Last week, I suggested that the Bush administration's second-term bear market had bottomed out. Since then, we've been pummeled by polls showing Bush in continued decline. Perhaps my bullish call on Bush was a bit early. Or perhaps it was wrong. Which is it?

That's up to the Bush administration. Over the next few months, the Bush team will put this bad year behind them, and regain their footing. Or it will be a long 39 months--a very long 39 months--for Bush and his supporters.

How to recover? Begin by facing reality.

The Miers episode did more damage than one might have expected. It raised doubts about Bush's judgment, on top of the Katrina-related doubts about White House competence, which have lingered. But Miers, and Katrina, are over. Now the task is to get Samuel Alito confirmed--using his confirmation process not just to get credit for a fine pick, but to make the case for judicial restraint and constitutionalism, and to lay the groundwork for additional winning battles on behalf of conservative appellate and (maybe) Supreme Court nominees.

(snip... ah... that felt good)

Note: the Buzzflash site has a particularly good commentary on its link to this article.

His honor, Mr. Kristolnacht?? Do you see things other people can't see?? Not a care about the devastation caused by Katrina--just concern for how it might have caused annoyance for your boy B*sh.

4. Kristol is a nit wit.......
He's part of the PNAC group and his knowledge of history is faulty. There's a wonderful interview with Pilger during a documentary called "The Truth about the War on Terror".....the interviews with Feith and Kristol are worth the watch.

He growls at my husband while hiding behind me or one of our daughters.

12. Kristol accuses the Democrats of rewriting history
No, the Democrats are admitting their own error in voting for this disaster of a war.
He says the Democrats agreed with Bush about WMD's in Iraq but he does not mention that we haven't found any WMD's. He also does not mention the UN inspectors who were saying before the war that they hadn't found anything (that prompted Rumsfeld's smart alecky "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence" howler).
Oh, love his line about Bush not taking credit for "a strong economy." Whose economy? Yours?

13. Isn't it amazing how many armchair badasses the Pukes have?
Bill Kristol looks like a guy who cries if he gets a hangnail, a guy who has never formed a fist in his life, muchless fought anyone.

And yet, they always talk of getting tough, fighting, doing battle, and my favorite, the imperial WE, as in "we ought to bomb ...."

15. He's the worst kind of agitator, an intellectual who fights
with his nasty mouth, back stabs, and always has a fake smile on his face.

Yes, this little nerd is one of the reasons many have died in I-wreck proving once again that the pen is mightier than the sword.

Never underestimate a snake.
