Kristol: Palin ‘reminds me a lot of FDR.’»


Yesterday on Fox News Channel, Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol predicted that Gov. Sarah Palin (R-AK) has a bright future in American politics even if her ticket does not win today’s election. Kristol noted that Franklin Delano Roosevelt lost his bid for vice president in 1920 only to be elected president twelve years later:

KRISTOL: She has a future, she may not run in four years if McCain loses. Franklin Roosevelt, as a 38 year old, lost the vice presidential race. He became governor of New York and then was elected twelve years from {then}. … She reminds me a lot of FDR. I just said that so that can go — so the left wing blogs can go crazy.

1. FDR with a lobotomy, perhaps.

[Taverner]

2. Um yeah - Paris Hilton reminds me a lot of oatmeal and crescent wrenches too

[Starbucks Anarchist]

3. Except her disability is purely mental.

[DinahMoeHum]

4. He's the one who suggested McCain pick Palin, right ??

L-O-S-E-R. He gets my nomination for Top 10 Conservative Idiots this week.

:freak:

[InternalDialogue]

5. If Kristol wants to compare Palin with losing vice-presidential candidates

he'd be more accurate to choose Stockdale.

"Who am I? Why am I here?"

6. Funny, she reminds me of a character on King of the Hill.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

7. Kristol reminds me a lot of dog crap n/t

[Veritas_et_Aequitas]

8. The big difference is that FDR was not a blind religious fanatic with his hand in his state's coffer

[ingac70]

9. Blasphemy!

:mad:

[jeepnstein]

10. She'll be on Fox...

in a few months. They'll pay much better than the voters of Alaska. Of course, she'll have to show a little leg like the rest of the serious "journalists" they employ.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. Kristol is Certifiable.

[sinkingfeeling]

12. Kristol couldn't possibly remember FDR. Billy was born in 1952 and FDR died in 1945.

[EFerrari]

13. Kristol reminds me a lot of pimps on Santa Monica Blvd about 3 in the morning. n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. A FDR = a Faux Dumb Republican

I'm amazed at how in God's name he has any credibility anywhere with anyone anymore.
But everyone keeps hiring him like Time, newsweek and others and pay him for his inaneness.

[Mz Pip]

15. Freddy Donald Rancid

Bill, as usual, has his people mixed up.

[tsuki]

16. This is the problem with inherited positions of privilege. The offspring

rarely live up to the parent. Irving Kristol was an original thinker (wrong in my opinion, but original.) Billy is a pale copy who used Daddy's ideas and contacts to promote himself. He cannot even properly research a column for the NY Times and get it right. Trouble is, like many pale copies, he fancies himself a self-made man, not Daddy's welfare recipient.

[Lerkfish]

17. how? because neither one of them can be vice president in 2009?

one of them is a rotting corpse, dead from the neck up and the other is a former president?

[bumblebee1]

18. Something tells me that if you were to open the grave of FDR at Hyde Park,

his remains would be on spin cycle.

[eShirl]

19. IN WHAT REGARD, BILLY?

[Minnesota_Lib]

20. I didn't know Sach's 5th Avenue sold wheelchairs.

[DS1]

21. Is he a plant?

He rammed in Palin in the first place.

[prolesunited]

22. Wow, he lives in an alternate universe

They don't control the message anymore. It's in the hands of the people via the Internet. Democracy has entered a new age and the haters will be cast out into the wilderness.

[lunatica]

23. But Kristol hates FDR!

All the PNAC gang lived to destroy FDR's legacy.

[Jack Rabbit]

24. !!

If Bristol Palin breaks up with Levi and marries Bill Kristol instead, she'll be Bristol Kristol. And his yang will be Bristol Kristol's pistol.

[babylonsister]

26. ...

:spray:

[Bippity Boo]

25. "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself..."

"...and William Ayers"
"...and Socialists"
"...and Putin rearing his head"
"...and the media"
"...and homosexual marriage"
"...and women's right to choose"
"...and witches"
"...and America (AIP, now!)"
"...and bears
"...and wolves"
"...and science"
etc.
etc.
etc.

[applegrove]

27. She the last of the culture warriors. She'lll have to wait two generations

before people will vote on cultural issues again. People now care about the economy and their place in it. And the environment and immigration will continue to be big issues. Also energy.

The days of puppets like Palin getting elected and becoming the patsies the neocons talked about in the 1960s are over.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

28. Well, they're both handicapped.

:shrug:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

29. Kristol - trying so hard to be noticed now is willing to say anything

Next, he'll talk about his UFO abduction experience.
