(Political Animal) KRISTOL CLEAR....Recently cast off from Time magazine, presumably for writing shallow, predictable tripe, William Kristol is getting a promotion of sorts.
The Huffington Post has learned that, in a move bound to create controversy, the New York Times is set to announce that Bill Kristol will become a weekly columnist in 2008. Kristol, a prominent neo-conservative who recently departed Time magazine in what was reported as a "mutual" decision, has close ties to the White House and is a well-known proponent of the war in Iraq. Kristol also is a regular contributor to Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume.

The writer must be referring to Fox News. He can't be referring to the Slimes as "one of the world's most prestigious news outlets" unless he's insane.
Good match.
I guess being wrong about 100 percent of the time over the last decade leads to riches and fame.
... which leads one to wonder how long THIS author can hold HIS job ...
So must be Kristol!
Does anyone read the New York Times anymore? Anyone?
Just how big a pansy is the writer if he considers Kristol a “thug”?
CBS is getting desperate too. Steve Benen sounds like he may be going over the edge. I hope he takes Walter Cronkite with him.
His dad wrote a good book.
It is silly. Time got rid of him and some other right leaners
because they are a left wing magazine. The print news mag business is dying anyway.
Close ties to the White House ?
Could it be that the NYT's has seen the light?
