New York Times “lightning rod conservative” columnist Bill Kristol was among the group of East Coast elite conservative pundits who supped with communist Barack Obama last week at George Will’s oxen farm in Maryland, so we were “interested” to see what he would write in today’s edition of his war column. Alas, he simply offers a perfunctory mention of the dinner before this terrifying twist: “…I’ve found myself thinking these last few days more about the man who has shouldered the burdens of office for the past eight years, George W. Bush.” Thus begins a rant about his fellow Jews and the anti-Semitic PBS host Bill Moyers, who probably loves the Holocaust. MORE »

Oh jesus christ, Bill fuckin’ Kristol, he’s now bragging about his sexy dinner with Obama and Peggy Noonan: “Yesterday, he met with the liberal columnists. And they had a pleasant hour in the conference room in his office. They got some coffee in some styrofoam cups. We had a pleasant dinner at George’s house, and they had some coffee from the machine in the office. But I wouldn’t read too much into that.” Andrew Sullivan, meanwhile, is extraordinarily upset about being called a “liberal columnist” and uses this as another opportunity to plug his book. And the world continues to rotate on an axis. [Think Progress]

More details have emerged from Barack Obama’s haughty War Dinner at George Will’s chateau last night in the rich Maryland suburbs (isn’t that area reserved for the rich Democrats, while the rich Republicans have McLean, Virginia all to themselves? Something to consider! Or not!) The early pool report mentioned that Bill Kristol and David Brooks were there, representing the New York Times tokenista/National Greatness contingent, but who else? Well, bald money crow Larry Kudlow for one! We know this because he blabbed all about this private dinner, to the media reporters. MORE »

In his latest dramatic attempt to charm the remaining elitist Republicans out of their doomed party of dumb rednecks, Super-President Barack Obama went to George Will’s walled castle in suburban Maryland on Tuesday night to share arugula and vintage Bordeaux with all of Will’s douchebag columnist friends. David Brooks was there! So was the “lightning rod conservative,” Bill Kristol. Charles Krauthammer was there, too! Can you imagine a dinner party even 2% as fun as this one? MORE »

UMM isn’t Bill Kristol’s mockery of a one-year contract with the liberal New York Times over by now, after one year, and he should not be writing anymore? Wait, what? “Stay the course” you say? Well then that’s good by us. Let’s check out the latest prose poetry from America’s “lightning rod conservative” about… Israel and Hamas, in which he argues that nothing short of an Israeli “victory” (undefined, as per usual) will lead to American war with the Iranians.

HA HA HA we finally read New York Times “lightning rod conservative” Bill Kristol’s column from yesterday and the tears, the tears are STREAMING down our face from equal parts agony and hilarity. It’s clear that he’s not even writing this column anymore; he’s just paying a local donkey to google a few articles and slap something Kristol-y together, like, uh, how’s this work: Dick Cheney is good because he isn’t Rod Blagojevich, as prophesied by Rudyard Kipling, fart, the end.

Just now your editors were having a little talky about our secret boyfriend, the New York Times’ token cross-dressing felcher Bill Kristol. “His column is boring and moderate this week,” said our Jim Newell. “He probably has some solid shit-eating lines, though.” And WALLAH, just like that, we found a nugget of silliness embedded at the very end of this kind of dull review of different strains of conservatism.

???: “Bush should consider pardoning–and should at least be vociferously praising–everyone who served in good faith in the war on terror, but whose deeds may now be susceptible to demagogic or politically inspired prosecution by some seeking to score political points. The lawyers can work out if such general or specific preemptive pardons are possible; it may be that the best Bush can or should do is to warn publicly against any such harassment or prosecution. But the idea is this: The CIA agents who waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and the NSA officials who listened in on phone calls from Pakistan, should not have to worry about legal bills or public defamation. In fact, Bush might want to give some of these public servants the Medal of Freedom at the same time he bestows the honor on Generals Petraeus and Odierno. They deserve it.” [Bolding of incredible statement is ours.] The people who gathered reliable intelligence without breaking domestic/international law, however, should be sent to Gitmo for being such pussies.

We didn’t think New York Times “lightning rod conservative” columnist Bill Kristol’s piece this morning was so bad after a first glance-over — it even had a number of good (i.e. not objectively false) points, about the economy! Wonkette close-reading operative “Kathleen,” however, highlights one incredible sentence that we skimmed over: “So I hope the best and the brightest who will be joining the new president will at least entertain the possibility that a lot of what they think they know is wrong.” Ha ha ha, whee! It’s true! And luckily, Bill Kristol will never have to entertain such a possibility, since it is categorically impossible for Bill Kristol to be wrong. [NYT]

For the past year, the liberal New York Times has published a comical fraud letter every Monday from its “lightning rod conservative” columnist, the Republican party operative Bill Kristol. This has provided your Wonkette with many posts! We were planning on ignoring him late last year, until the Times‘ opinion editor challenged us by calling Kristol a “serious, respected conservative intellectual” and us “intolerant.” Not only is the first half of that wrong, but Kristol doesn’t even care about his column! So will he keep it for another year? The douche himself speaks! MORE »

The sleeping beast sleepeth no more, DO YOU SEE? Weekly Standard editor and New York Times dandy Bill Kristol appears to have flipped the website back on for the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), the famous congregation of neocons who love declaring war on all Arabs, always. WHAT EVIL THINGS WILL THEY PLAN NOW? Why the election of Sarah Palin, of course! [Wonk Room]
