From a FR thread in 2001, after the Weekly Standard had been around a few years: How Bill Kristol ditched conservatism. Great Escape. Hat tip to Miss Marple for her comment back then:

"I am probably not going to be your favoroite reply, but I am quite grateful you posted this."

"If you read through this article, you get a picture of Bill Kristol's behavior through the last few years, and it is obvious that as I have often pointed out, he chooses positions and personalities which are detrimental to the Republican party. He isn't a conservative at all."

"He is a mole."

"This article fails to document his long campaign to get Colin Powell to run as the Republican nominee in 2000. This is the same Colin Powell which Kristol now routinely trashes."

"Kristol was originally backing Powell because he knew it would cause a split in the Republicans. Now he trashes Powell as Secretary of State, for the same reason."

"So, thanks for posting this article, as it documents other incidences of the same type of behavior."

Kristol and the Weekly Standard have always been this way.

No John, you pompous ass. “The cessation of the Standard” was a nonevent. Nobody noticed. Nobody cared. Sorry. Have a nice rest of your life..
