O Mighty Kristol!
Filed under: US Elections
The Weekly Standard's William Kristol's first op-ed column has exploded like a thermonuclear device within the ivory tower of the nation's Paper of Wretched.
Get this: He not only quotes Michelle Malkin, he identifies her as "the conservative writer" -- not "the blogger." With one genuinely amazing sentence, the ivory tower shatters and crumbles into dust.
How's this for an opening paragraph: "Thank you, Senator Obama. You've defeated Senator Clinton in Iowa. It looks as if you're about to beat her in New Hampshire. There will be no Clinton Restoration. A nation turns its grateful eyes to you."
Wow! We're not worthy! Be still my heart! Click through to read the rest of this thrilling ode to America, and consider the possibility of Obama (totally bereft of executive credentials and bearing a name that rhymes with Osama) running against a former governor like Huckabee (but the governor of Arkansas can't be elected president, right?) or a former mayor like Giuliani. Suddenly, the Republicans look like a pretty good bet.
