Well as a conservative and an advocate of smaller government, I wouldn't want anyone to try to live up to Irving Kristol's reputation. I remember what he did in 2000 but I also remember 2-3 years ago his rag of a magazine taken as absolute truth when it advocated the invasion of Iraq, which it did endlessly
William Kristol was one of the original Neocons, and his Mother Getrude Himmelfarb was also a Neocon. They had stellar careers and as far as I know not in backstabbing. The Weekly Standard and Kristol were big proponents of The War on terrorism as most on freerepublic,and we realize Rome was not built in a day. kristol thinks we and the white House give a crap what he thinks. He is so small both physically and mentally that he should drive a Scion as his limousine.
