Fox News Sunday: Kristol Says GOP Much More Open To Strong Women



http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/06/29/fox-news-sunday-kristol-says-gop-much-more-open-to-strong-women/

Neocon Bill Kristol made his usual appearance as part of the “Power Panel” on Fox News Sunday this morning and was surprisingly supportive of Hillary Clinton. In a rather tongue-in-cheek fashion, Bill decries the misogyny that he says plagued the Democratic primaries, and that Republicans are much more open to a strong woman:

“…I think Hillary Clinton was gracious. She’s put behind her the horrible sexism and misogyny the Democratic primary voters demonstrated, which I’m appalled by personally, never would have happened in the Republican Party. You know, we’re - Republicans are much more open to strong women, and that’s why John McCain’s going to put Sara Palin , the Governor of Alaska on the ticket.”

How sweet of Bill to show such compassion for — wait, wasn’t it Bill who said this last February?

“Look the only people for Hillary Clinton are the Democratic establishment and white women… it would be crazy for the Democratic party to follow the establishment that’s led them to defeat year after year… White Women are a problem - but, you know… we all live with that…”

Yes, it sure was. Because we know there was zero sexism coming from the right during the primary season, right? There was nary a peep on FOXNews about Hillary losing male votes because her voice was shrill, or that her tears were just a political stunt, while male candidates of both parties getting choked up was just a sign of their passion, right? Save it, Bill. Even in jest, it just makes you look petty.

1. This is ridiculous.

If Sarah leaves Alaska, I will be more than amazed. From what I've seen, she seems to be treating all this hoopla as kind of a joke right now, not to be taken seriously at all. She is an extremely popular first-term governor in Alaska (polling better with Dems than Republicans, from what I understand), has a new baby with Down Syndrome, and her ties to Alaska are strong. We only have three electoral votes -- what in the world would McCain have to gain by putting her on the ticket, even if she were so inclined?

If Sarah does seek national office, my guess would be that she'd go after Lisa Murkowski's seat in 2010, and she would win.

2. Rule 2 in GOP play book....

anything to divide and conquer the opposition. How else can one eplain the fact that Nader has run in just about every Presidential Election. I could see it in the mid-late 70's, but he has been nothing but a spoiler every since. I would say Nader=Ron Paul, but I have lived in Paul's district and he has done more for me than Nader.

What is the GOP going to say about the folks of colour ( or not) defecting the GOP and voting for Obama. My red neck brother is now an Obama supporter. My have times changed.

4. Does anyone, except RWing idiots, pay any attention to

the crap that this guy spews out?

6. He's consistent if nothing else

It's funny, in a tragic way, to see Criswell's latest predictions.

3. what are you on, and do you share, kristol? anybody who believes this bs, I have some great ocean-

front property in NM to talk to you about.

5. Michael Palin?! Take it back!

Although perhaps being a lumberjack would become fashionable again.

7. HAHAHAHA! Mr. "White Women are a problem - but, you know… we all live with that…"

Wow. He couldn't even keep a straight face in his current faux-advocacy for women.

8. Kristol: Always wrong. About everything. And unapologetic about it.

The day the New York Times hired that drooling idiot was one of the most disgraceful in its long history.

Kristol is all about death. Other people's deaths, to be sure, but he is every bit the cold blooded killer that Gacy was.

9. Palin would be a very, very strong choice for McCain. However, Kristol has never, ever

been right about anything, ever, so I take this as very heartening news.

10. Remember that little Willie Kristol earned his political bona fides as a mouthpiece for Dan Quayle.

I think that is all we need to know about Willy Kristol.
