Bill Kristol at the Times

This announcement reads like a parody of lefty self-flagellation:

The Times Adds an Op-Ed Columnist

Echoing this thing, it’s pretty tough to argue that rightist media is more self-critical when you examine this dealie: you have a commentator dude who’s not only kept up his unflinching pro-war thing even as the rationale looks worse and worse, but has called for criminal prosecution of the very “liberal” media outlet that just hired him on as a commentator. Meanwhile, the media outlet both hires him anyway and makes a point to echo his past denunciations of said outlet.

Assuming you think the Times opinion page editors are liberal, I’ll echo walking-in-snowy-woods dude Robert Frost on this one: “A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in an argument.”
