What is the Bradley Foundation? Who knows, but it’s giving that dumb galoot Bill Kristol a $250,000 prize! No — STIPEND. Stipend? We’ll call it a stipend! What the hell? “The Bradley Foundation selected William Kristol for his outstanding achievements in a wide range of activities affecting the development of public policy from national and international perspectives. He is a widely respected conservative leader.” So it’s like a Genius Grant but with less money and given only to liars. (It is a money laundering front.) (For war.) Congratulations Bill Kristol! [Gawker, Bradley Foundation]
“The Bradleys believed that the good society is a free society. ”
Although you won’t have the freedom to choose your sexual partners, your religious beliefs, what your kids learn about science, what other people believe, what your country really did in the past, what . . .
Bartender, another glass of arsenic, please.
Yes, of course. A “journalist” who affects public policy - no problems there.
I consider it money well spent for his “discovery” of the Alaskan twit. (Comedy Gold!!!)
Fuck, now I get it. Teabaggers asplained at last. They all thought, what the hell, if some dumb fuck like Kristol can get $250K, so can we. Let’s protest the higher tax we’ll have to pay once we get that Bradley Foundation stipend.
Further proof that the bigger the failure you are and the bigger the thing you fail at, the better chance you have at becoming successful. Which means that the problem in my life is not that I’m a failure, it’s just that I haven’t failed enough and at too many unimportant things.
This is pretty disgusting. This guy is so smarmy and cheap, intellectually speaking. And pretentious and patronizing, and arrogant, etc. Well, you all know what I mean. Oh, and dishonest.
God Bless America, where you can drivel on about complete crap, get fired from the Grey Lady for it, then receive $250,000 because your drivel is so driveltastic according to loser wingnuts. I can drivel, too. See? I’l just keep going on, driveling, until I get my quarter mill. I’m waiting…how much longer much I drivel to get — ooh, gmail notice popped up. That must be my 250gs. Oh, poo, just some spam from Alibris for a bullshisse $10 off coupon (but only if you spend $100 - who has a hundred bucks to spend on used books?). Man, still no reward for driveling…Well. Give it time.
at first glance, that pic looks like a head ’splosion a la Scanners.
*Sigh*
brown people bad. bomb them. greeted as liberators.
I can haz bradley munnies too?
Is this different than the Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence?
Dear Dr. Kristol -
On behalf of the Murderous Fucktard Foundation, I am pleased to inform you that you have been selected to receive our semiannual William Randolph Hearst Award, for helping conservatives everywhere to achieve wargasm with your weekly columns/handjobs. Enclosed you will find:
One (1) bag, containing
twenty-four (24) dicks,
one (1) oz. lighter fluid, and
one (1) match.
It is recommended that the dicks be set alight and juggled vigorously before consumption.
Best,
SmutBoffin
What would Bill Kristol be doing if this were a meritocracy?
raysmuckles:
“Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence”
LOL
Hooray For Anything: You gotta’ start failing up, not down.
Bradley Board of Directors:
http://www.bradleyfdn.org/board_of_directors.asp
“Since 1985, the Foundation has made more than $530 million in grant awards to organizations that pursue its mission.”
It’s welfare for conservative “thinkers” whom have NEVER worked a day in their life.
George Will has won this award too. I am thinking Chucky Krauthammer would get it too, but I am sure the club doesn’t allow Jews.
He deserves 250,000 dicks in a bag.
The Bradley Foundation was established by the Milton Bradley Company, maker of Barrel of Monkeys and Crocodile Dentist.
Kristol is so dumb he’ll probably be flat broke in three weeks, just like so many lottery winners.
chascates: QUIET LIBERAL. Let the Bradley’s rewrite history in peace, k? Otherwise WHY DON’T YOU JUST MOVE TO FRANCE, OR SOMETHING?
Oh come on. We all know how Bill got his money…
“Bill Kristol, you use your tongue purtier than a 249 Diamond Whore.”
Assuming of course 1 Diamond = 1K.
I have a newfound respect for Meghan McCain — at least she had the good sense to get rich for doing nothing.
Hooray For Anything: Yes, I believe that is referred to as “failing upward”, or in the new parlance, “Epic FAIL, Kristol”
“widely-respected conservative leader” clearly means “blatant liar” because it is the commonality among all these “leaders” (Bush, Cheney, George “Climate Change Doesn’t Exist” Will, take your pick…)
I CAN HAZ HUSH MONEY NOW?
AfghanVet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradley_Foundation
Some might call it prize, I call it a salary. The BF was a major contributor to Kristol’s now defuncted Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
Back and to the left.

As a person who is routinely hit with objects in the face, I take offense to this photo.
OK, that’s it. I’m going to go into the wingnut pundit business. All it takes is complete disregard for facts and reason and some mild brain damage. Where the fuck did I put the knitting needles?
I don’t think Custerwolf would hit it even if it was starbursty and changed his politics.
This Bradley prize is a little less prestigious than the First Annual Montgomery
Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence.
Aaaaaaaaaand first place for being consistently wrong and oblivious to reality goes toooooo…
Talk about Conitive Dissonance (TM). The Bradley Fund for the Environment funds some really great collaborative projects with great results. And the Bradley Foundation gives Bill Kristol $250K for being an unbelievable douche. Needs more consistency.
averyspecialjoedonbakerxmas: The next photo should be from [i]Videodrome[/i]. “I want you to open up to me, Bill.”
OReillysVibrator: Sharing Alfred Rosenberg’s fate.
You have to admit, Kristol has been a boon to humorists across the galaxy, especially with his selection of Sarah Palin for POTUS. He deserves something for that, right?
So basically this is like a Nobel Prize for wankers?
“Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence”
Hey! It’s hard work being WRONG all the frakkin’ time.
seldom in the course of human events has one person, with a public voice been so wrong, so often, about so many things. failure is a well off orphan today.
freakishlystrong: I think in looking at the careers of both Bill Kristol and Dubya that my biggest mistake in life was not being born into a rich, political family as “helped start major land war against Middle Eastern country with insufficient amount of troops and total lack of planning” would not help as much in getting a job.
Monsieur Grumpe: but he’s wrong and oblivious to reality in all the right ways!
This is some Rightie bullshit, where they pass the same $250K around, to much fanfare. Bradley gives the Bradley $250K award to Kristol. The fun ends when the Kristol Foundation gives it to SarahPAC, which embezzles it and spends it at Nieman Marcus.
AfghanVet: Krauthammer won 5 years ago.
“Webster’s dictionary defines ‘excellence’ as ‘the state or condition of being excellent.’ So without further ado, I give this Montgomery Burns Award for Outstanding Achievement in the Field of Excellence to Bill Krystol.”
Hell. I will eat a bag of dicks. Hopefully I will choke to death rather than have to live in a world in which someone gives Bill Kristol free money. It’s like Bizarro World. Mark my words. Lex Luthor is involved somehow.
Mad Farmer Manifest: Lest you get too weepy-eyed about the Bradley Fund for the Environment, see the last two bullet points in the below:
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/mehan200508190821.asp
Fantastic, fantastic picture. It deserves an award of some kind, also.
give’m a call (414) 291-9915 but be warned their receptionist can be a little snippy
S.Luggo: “free-market environmentalism”
WTF?
S.Luggo: Some might call it prize, I call it a salary.
Kristol calls it “tax free”.
I gave up my phrenology and physiognamy years ago, but does it appear that there is a homunculous growing out of his head…no surprise that it is on the right side.
Naked Bunny with a Whip: Agreed, with enemies like Kristol, the Dems don’t need friends. Kristol has been involved with nearly every stupid move the Republicans have made in the last couple of years. Just imagined if McCain listened to Kristol and let Sarah be Sarah. Not only would we won in a landslide, but we would have at least a couple of minutes of excellent footage to snark at every night.
Enturbulate: Hahaha! Wierd , I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Sounds like Liarboy knows where some pictures are located and got hisself a bone-ASS (bonus).
S.Luggo: chascates: I’m not weepy eyed, just pragmatic. It’s important to push for smarter and more stringent regulation for environmental protection. At the same time, incentives and appealing to a farmer’s or forester’s sense of responsibility can provide real environmental benefits without causing resentment that undermines efforts in the long run. Market approaches can even preserve land from being developed or get water back in streams for fish when the law can’t do anything. NRCS (one of FDR’s creations) has been using incentives (”free-market environmentalism”)to improve and preserve the environment since the 1930’s. We need better environmental protection laws, but it all comes down to individual actions in the long term. As much as it chafes my hide personally, market approaches are part of the solution under our current economic system.
engulfedinflames: She was perfectly lovely to me.
That’s it. I hate America.
S.Luggo: “crude ideological views”? Isn’t that Bill Kristol’s screen name?
People we’re clearly in the wrong, the business.
GIMME JESUS AND GUNS, C’OS I’
People we’re clearly in the wrong, the business.
GIMME JESUS AND GUNS, C’OS I’M GONNA KILL MYSELF SOME MUSLINS…
Kristol will no doubt consider this 1/4 a Nobel Prize.
I think we can have a better tactic for our future war crime tourture trials - I suggest calling Gonzolas, Rove, Cheney et al that they have won the famous Spnaish Lottery or “Gordo”.
OReillysVibrator: In a meritocracy? In a Percocet haze, handcuffed to the toilet in a Salt Lake City airport men’s room, with his pants around his ankles and flies on his spit-bubbled lips.
The Bradley Foundation came about from the merger/morph of Milwaukee’s Allen-Bradley Co. with Rockwell International back in the 1980s. They’re up there as a right-wing funder with Olin,Coors, Koch, et al. Remember The Bell Curve controversy? They underwrote the book. If you want to do something (book, film, windshield flyer)vaguely but undoubtably racist or Xenophobic they’re a likely source of funding. Worth a try. I’d give them a 7. They have a beat and you can dance around them. In F’ing circles…
davesnothere: with his pants around his ankles and flies on his jizz-bubbled lips.
Fixed that for you.
Is this the same guy that is wrong all the time about everything? THAT GUY? What a joke.
Let’s be sure he claims it on his income tax.
