Believe it or not, the New York Times just announced that William Kristol will now be a regular op-ed writer for the paper. More after the jump.
Read the bizarre announcement for yourself.
This is the same guy who told Terry Gross in April of 2003: "I think there's been a certain amount of, frankly, Terry, a kind of pop sociology in America, that, you know, somehow the Shia can't get along with the Sunni, or the Shia in Iraq just want to establish some kind of fundamentalist regime. There's almost no evidence of that at all. Iraq has always been very secular."
This is also the same guy who said that the New York Times should be prosecuted for revealing, in 2006, a secret government program to monitor international banking transactions.
In 2003 he wrote in the Weekly Standard, "Still, the simple truth is that a great democracy like ours deserves a first-rate newspaper of record. And the New York Times isn’t it."
And now he will be able to spout his ignorance in the Times on a regular basis.
To him I say what someone responded to another right-wing op-ed regular in the Times, David Brooks, after Brooks wrote a column assaulting Al Gore: Gore was right about the budget, right about the war, and right about global warming. What have you been right about?
