Act Neutrally

With apologies to Buck Owens and his Buckaroos...

They're gonna put me on the talk shows

They're gonna make a big star out of me

'Cause I'm a fraud who's propped up by his cronies

And all I gotta do is act neutrally

Well, I'll bet you I'm a-gonna be a big star

Might win a Emmy, you can't never tell

The talk shows gonna make me a big star,

'Cause I can play the part so well!

Well, I know you'll sit and watch my talk show

Then I'll know that you will plainly see

The biggest tool that's ever hit the big time

And all I gotta do is act neutrally

I have this gig 'cause I'm propped up by my cronies

Got it by begging down on bended knee

I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing

All I'll have to do is act neutrally

Well, I'll bet you I'm a-gonna be a big star

Might win an Emmy, you can't never tell

The talk show's gonna make me a big star,

'Cause I can play the part so well

Well, I hope you'll sit and watch my talk show

Then I'll know that you will plainly see

The biggest tool that's ever hit the news game

And all I gotta do is act neutrally

Behold, a Tip Jar!

Kristol Blue Persuasion

The World's Best Blogger is mad, dammit!

Bill Kristol's Mindset

Every now and again, the mask slips and we see what the neocon scion really cares about. Fiscal responsibility? Debt reduction? This was a man who barely mentioned the debt or spending under the fiscally ruinous Bush-Cheney years, and mocked those who did. And the reason is simple: this is a writer concerned solely about partisanship and power...

They can't even bother to disguise their rank cynicism and partisan tribalism any more. Their core objective in this Congress: what Mitch McConnell said.

Translation: How much nicer everything was back when Kristol would at least put on a wig and some Sinatra before I gave him his Brotherhood of St. Reagan reacharounds.
