Bill Kristol joins ABC News [View all]

Bill Kristol, the editor and publisher of The Weekly Standard, has joined ABC News as a contributor, "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos announced on Sunday.

A source familiar with the negotiations says the former Fox News commentator has landed with ABC in a handshake agreement that they're about to sign. ABC News spokesperson Heather Riley also confirmed Kristol's move in an email.

The agreement, one source said, includes regular appearances on the Sunday show, as well as special events and other political-relaed events. But there's also a window that allows him to do other shows on cable television.

Kristol ended a decade-long run as Fox News contributor last summer two years after he and Roger Ailes got into a disagreement that had a cooling effect on their relationship.

Liberal Media =

Has there ever been one person who has been so wrong about so many things
as Bill Kristol? People should remember his cheer leading for the Iraq war and
how he said that sectarian violence would really not be a problem.

Disclaimer I hate Kristol's smug face and smug ass smile.
