Unlike the idiot who returns to his village in Texas--we hope--in January of 2009, Kristol is a fixture on the Washington scene...but one that's rusty, and prone to leaking, plus the threads are stripped. Jonathan Schwarz:
I'm talking about Kristol's two-hour appearance on C-Span's Washington Journal on March 28, 2003, just nine days after the President launched his invasion of Iraq. No one remembers it today. You can't even fish it out of LexisNexis. It's not there. Yet it's a masterpiece, a double album of smarm, horrifying ignorance, and bald-faced deceit. While you've heard him play those instruments before, he never again reached such heights. It's a performance for the history books -- particularly that chapter about how the American Empire collapsed.
