After much liberal uproar, Iraq war evangelist William Kristol debuts on the New York Times op-ed page with a piece on Mike Huckabee that manages to be simultaneously insightful and delusional. On the one hand, he's to be commended for recognising the real, grassroots appeal of Huckabee, too often dismissed by Washington pundits. Then there's this:
Some of us would much prefer a non-liberal and non-Democratic administration. We don't want to increase the scope of the nanny state, we don't want to undo the good done by the appointments of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, and we really don't want to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory in Iraq.
"Jaws of victory in Iraq"? Bill, read your own paper. Guess becoming a Times columnist doesn't mean you stop drinking the neocon Kool-Aid.
