Neighbors' Obama bumper stickers fill Kristol with 'moroseness'Muriel Kane
Published: Monday July 28, 2008

With presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama riding high after a triumphant nine-day trip to the Middle East and Europe, and John McCain reduced to photo ops in cheese aisles and sausage restaurants, conservative pundits are consoling themselves with the thought that in politics, nothing is certain.

In a New York Times op-ed, Neocon William Kristol appears depressed by the current assumption that Obama has the election in the bag -- but what seems to annoy him most are the "got hope?" bumper stickers adorning even expensive cars in his Washington suburban neighborhood.

"I relapsed into moroseness," Kristol complains, wondering "Are my own neighbors’ lives so bleak that they place their hopes in Barack Obama?" ... "Do they really believe their fellow citizens who happen to prefer McCain are hopeless?"

1. not to be racist, but I cant wait to see the expressions on white faces when a black man is sworn in

[LynneSin]

4. We keep forgetting that Obama is also half white

I like the fact that he is a bridge that is moving us from the old concept of electing pasty white men to the new concept that this is a country where anyone can be president!

[SoxFan]

25. I am offended by this post

Speaking as a pasty white man, of course...

[Indenturedebtor]

13. Well seeing as how Obama will need white faces to get elected

I think that maybe you should rephrase your statement. Didn't come off very well.

[girl gone mad]

14. huh?

If you look at any of the white faces in my immediate family, they'll be beaming.

[Skittles]

34. what the fuck is THAT supposed to mean? n/t

[Parche]

2. Kristol's Bumper Sticker : 'Got War'

:woohoo: :hi:

[NYC_SKP]

3. Raise your hand if you'd...

...like to slap that smile off Kristol's face as much as I would.

Metaphorically, of course, I'd never promote violence like that.

:hi:

[nxylas]

23. I'm having too much fun watching the smile fade on its own

Seeing neocons like Kristol and, on the other side of the pond, Nick Cohen slowly losing their marbles as everything they promoted crumbles to dust is fascinating in a staring-at-a-train-wreck sort of way.

[Botany]

5. This from a man who has been consistently wrong on everything?

That grinning little war monger is on record saying that Shi v Sunni problems in a post Saddam
Iraq would hardly be worth talking about.

God help me I saw want to wipe his smug little grin off his face.

[AtomicKitten]

6. He should just fall asleep and let the pod do the rest.

Invasion of the Vote Snatchers

[VolcanoJen]

7. Oh, noes!!!! The stickers are on "even expensive cars"???!!!??

Poor Bill Kristol!!!!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[barack the house]

8. Kristol needs to understand he ultimately destroyed McCain's chances. That is all.

[depakid]

9. Why is this man writing for the NY Times?

Is it because they're in a race to the bottom with the Washington Post- and they're losing?

[Mabus]

17. No

He writes for the NY Times because his daddy was friends with the father of the person who hired him.

[rox63]

10. Every time Kristol gets morose, an angel gets its wings

:)

[ClassWarrior]

12. ROFL

O8)

NGU.

[Fleshdancer]

11. I'm so glad I don't live next to Kristol

Could you imagine being his neighbor and reading this crap? If he's so "concerned" about the lives of his neighbors, then perhaps he could have the courage to talk to them rather than gossip about them to the media.

:wtf:

[11 Bravo]

15. Kristol is too full of shit to have any room left for "moroseness".

[blogslut]

26. You beat me to it

:hi:

[11 Bravo]

28. Great minds!

:toast:

[Cheap_Trick]

16. Kristol's pain

is my pleasure.

choke on it, you neo-con bastard.

[glitch]

18. Perhaps he'll finally seek the help he has so desperately needed all these many long years. nt

[AntiFascist]

19. The poor neocon...

people must also be abandoning his newspaper in droves.

[CoffeeCat]

20. Is the head neocon overlord whining like a wussy again?

This time it's about bumper stickers? On "even expensive cars"?

Listen Billy. If you're going to preside as an evil overlord--over a maniacal band of
renegade, bloodthirsty murderers and psychopaths--at least know how to present yourself
in public.

Stop the whining.

Maybe you could just start cluster bombing your neighbors and their cars? At least that
would be consistent with the PNAC agenda.

There's no crying in warmongering!

[Cha]

21. Hell on Earth would be living in bill kristol's world and

thinking john cheeze aisle mccain is the one.

[zulchzulu]

22. Making Captain PNAC morose is a GREAT DAY!

I wonder if he has a McGaffe bumpersticker on his car.

:rofl:

[polichick]

24. McCain supporters are hopeless alright - hopeless fools!

[Arugula Latte]

27. Nothing makes that douchebag Kristol happier than the U.S. slaughtering brown people

Have you seen him salivating for an invasion/bombing of Iran? He is a sick, twisted scumbag.

[yellowcanine]

29. I am reminded of the Sound of Music line - "We much prefer Austrian voices raised in song to German

threats."

[AnnieBW]

30. If it makes Kristol feel morose

My husband and I will drive our cars over to his house and park them so that the bumpers face his bedroom window!

[AZBlue]

31. What an ass. Then again...is it wrong that I'm pleased he's morose?

It won't make me change my mind, I'm just curious.

[Spirochete]

32. Well, I hope November

gives him a reason to feel suicidal, then.

[Skittles]

33. yes Mr. Kristol, even the well-to-do can feel "bleak"

anyone with an ounce of brains can see America is headed in the WRONG DIRECTION
