The Krazy Hypocrite

By Michael J.W. Stickings

More Krazy Kristol. This one via News Hounds.

Sunday on -- where else? -- Fox News, Billy Bob Kristol responded to a question about the problematic (i.e., sordid) personal lives of the top GOP presidential candidates with this doozy of a nugget:

I think [it's] not a big problem. Generally speaking, the American people discount private lives quite rigorously actually, and they try to pick someone who will be a good president and they separate public and private to a pretty great degree.

As Melanie advises, "let's note these 'words of wisdom' from Rupert Murdoch's crony. They'll be ever more relevant this time next year when Kristol the hypocrite will undoubtedly be picking away at the private lives of the leading Democratic candidate(s)."

Once upon a time it was Clinton, Clinton, Clinton. Soon it'll be, well, Clinton again. Or Obama. Or Edwards. Or whomever. The actual candidate matters not. The hypocritical moralizing -- dressed up as talk of "character" and "personal responsibility" -- will come hot and heavy in the pages of The Neocon Standard, as well as in the hyperpartisan excrement of Fox News.

It's one of the sure things of 2008.
