A Penny For Bill Kristol's Thoughts Is A Ripoff

Media Matters for America has an article on Bill Kristol regarding his recent statements about Democrats and 9/11.

Kristol accused Democrats -- not Republicans -- of turning 9-11 anniversary "into a partisan fight"; falsely claimed Bush never attacked Clinton terror policies

On the September 10 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol attacked Democrats for "turn[ing] every event, including now the fifth anniversary of 9-11, into a partisan fight" and claimed that it is "a totally false charge that [President Bush] has played the politics of fear."

For those of you who don't listen to The Al Franken Show, you might not have heard this quote by Bill Kristol when he was speaking to Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, April 1, 2003:

And on this issue of the Shia in Iraq, I think there's been a certain amount of, frankly, Terry, a kind of pop sociology in America that, you know, somehow the Shia can't get along with the Sunni and the Shia in Iraq just want to establish some kind of Islamic fundamentalist regime. There's almost no evidence of that at all. Iraq's always been very secular.

Wow! You couldn't be more wrong about something than that.

How can someone so incredibly wrong about political concerns be paid money for and paid attention to their thoughts and comments about politics?

Anyone who pays Bill Kristol a penny for his thoughts is getting ripped off.
