I tried to restrain myself but I can't.
First, I've gotten Kristol's The Weekly Standard from its beginning and make a point to read every Morris column published in the NY Post, so I've come to different conclusion.
Second, Morris used to work for Lott and Helms, his columns consistently favor Republican principles and carry a decidedly anti-Clinton-Gore flavor (as an insider who knows), and he is the most astute observer of the political scene out there. Though he worked for Clinton (and had a few problems), he's got a record of successful campaigns at least as good as anyone else in the business, despite the miscall on California. I for one am happy to have him on our side.
Third, in contrast, Kristol is the non-Democrat pundit most pessimistic about Bush reelection chances (see latest essay), has called for the resignations of Rumsfeld, Powell, Wolfowitz and others in the Bush cabinet, supported McCain over Bush -- and talks fondly of Lieberman whenever he gets a chance, and properly deserves much of the blame as campaign manager for producing the Quayle debacle.
Forth, any liberal-flake list like the one above which does not recognize Spector, Snowe, Chaffee, Grassley, Hatch and several other Republicans lacks credibility.
Fifth, we can agree to disagree.
