When you first read Bill Kristol's "reporting" about Colin Powell's "convention appearance," you...

Kristol is slime and if Ambinder is insinuating otherwise, he is slime, too.

Need a choice for "first evaluated it in light of Kristol's extensive track record of being factally wrong about everything, and dismissed it accordingly."

Kristol doesn't have enough credibility left for me to bother with "evaluating" *anything* he says. He's the absolute worse kind of slime, spewing poison and fouling everything his name is associated with. Our country and our democracy deserve better.

Hey Ambinder, Kristol is paid propagandist. He's in the same realm of fiction peddling as Robert "Douchebag of Liberty" Novak. What in god's name has he gotten correct in the last 7 years. I mean really - this is a guy who tried to hitch his start to Dan freaking Quayle!

Why would I evaluate his comments based on his partisan preferences, and not, say, based on the fact that he's a known liar with no journalistic credentials or integrity?
