Weekly Standard Editor and Project For a New American Century guru William Kristol is spouting the latest GOP talking point: Kerry is disgraceful for criticizing Bush and thus is unfit to be the President.
Did we become a fascist state when I wasn't looking?
Not only does Kristol opine about Kerry's criticsms, he outright lies about Kerry as well:
We really don't know what a President John Kerry would do about Iraq. His flip-flops about the war, his inconsistencies, the ambiguity of his current position (win or withdraw?) -- all of these mean we can only guess about a Kerry presidency. He would probably be inclined to get out of Iraq as soon as possible; it might be the case, however, that as president he would nonetheless find himself staying and fighting. Who knows?
Wrong Bill. We know exactly what Kerry would do. Why? He's told us again and again. In fact he told us just last Friday at Temple University. And please don't pretend you don't know about what Kerry said. If you don't, you're not doing your job. And anyone that follows you knows you're simply too smart for that.
And then, Kristol let's the other shoe drop:
What we do know is this: Kerry and his advisers have behaved disgracefully this past week. That behavior is sufficient grounds for concern about his fitness to be president.
And what heinous act does Kristol accuse Kerry of? Kerry didn't say anything "supportive of the President" after Bush's speech to the UN on Friday. What exactly was Kerry supposed to say? "Hey George...way to go. Nice job lying to the UN and blowing sunshine up their skirts on Iraq. Excellent con job you've got going there, man." Give me a break.
