Bill Kristol actually CRITICIZES Saint Sarah
Bill Kristol, the influential Weekly Standard editor, is a famously opportunistic pundit. So it's very bad news for Sarah Palin that even Kristol appears to have given up on a Palin presidential campaign this year.

Kristol went out of his way on MSNBC this morning to express disappointment with Palin, a striking shift for a man who has been Palin's most prominent champion in the press since he met her on a cruise in Alaska in 2007.

"I have a high regard for Sarah Palin, but I will say I've been disappointed since she resigned as governor," Kristol said on "Morning Joe." "I thought she had a real chance to take the lead on a few policy issues, do a little more in terms of framing the policy agenda. I don't think she's done that. But she's a shrewd woman and I wouldn't underestimate her."

"Shrewd woman?" Ouch!

But, you know, I am now seriously worried about Half-Gov Youbetcha as a political threat in '12, since Billy Bob Kristol has been wrong on every fucking thing he's ever said!

1. It's just the neocons trying to make a comeback. Nothing more.

16. Oh doncha know, they were SILENTLY protesting the government spending spree!
But it took the election of a black man (oops!!11111), no I mean Obama!!111!!! - a Kenyan, Muslim socialist who wants to overthrow the American way, to make them come out in droves.

But, ya know, they WERE actually, really, honestly, pissed off a Dubya too.

3. Cleaning house?
Could be the right is getting tired of being compared to the likes of Palin, Bachmann, and of course Beck! If they don't distance themselves from these nuts, they will simply be the party lead by the nuts, and that isn't going to help them come 2012! While the republicans in congress are afraid to piss off the tea party crowd, it seems that some of those who are not politicians are doing the dirty work of "cleaning house"!

Palin is a joke, and now even the right wing hacks that have supported her are turning on her. She may be able to fool the totally brain dead base she has, but that is a very very small minority, and they won't make her any kind of a "political threat"! Both Palin and Beck are on thin ice, and the more they spew their "hot air" the more they will make themselves meaningless!

7. They are all full of it...
this is some more of the NO LABELS bullshit...Kristol and Scar are trying to pretend the bipartanship bull and the talking about the middle but everything is going toward what the right wants.

The same thing goes for the Dems who say they are trying to win the middle but will be losing the base in return and I may be one of them I am tired of hearing this shit!!!

13. I agree..
The pantywaists are always to slow to react,and by the time the pantywaists have ran away with their talking points its usually too late,the brainwashing has taken over for many along with getting paid off because as you say "the lunatics" have all of the money..I am tired of playing this game waiting for many to get it.

17. Translation: Sarah Was The Next Idiot President That The NeoCons Wanted To Ride To Power
Like Bush, she would be the idiot front man for their plans to wage war against Iran, but after two years, she's still a joke and has no chance to become president.

18. I never read the original story,
but I believe Dr. Frankenstein grew to regret the monster HE created, too.
