Once again, Kristol blew persuasion

Tue, 08/14/2007 - 9:31am — vastleft



On The Daily Show, Bill Kristol pulls off a Glenn Greenwald hat trick:

1. He says "serious" or "seriously" six times in a seven-minute interview

2. He called O'Hanlon and Pollack "skeptics of the war"

3. He called General Petraeus "non-partisan."




On the second point, Stewart summoned his inner Greenwald: "They weren't really skeptics. Ken Pollack would like us to invade Iran, for godsakes. Those are very hawkish guys."

Cliché though it is, Comedy Central is yet again doing a better job than the entire news media.

I think I'm going to go lie down now.

No authoritarians were tortured in the writing of this post.
