Perhaps pointing out hypocrisy from Bill Kristol is as pointless as saying the grass is green, but let's do it anyway. From today's column:

....they’ll stick to the argument they made in their first reaction to the Palin announcement: "Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency."  [...]

Should voters be alarmed by a relatively young or inexperienced vice-presidential candidate? No.

And less than two months ago:

Never before have we had someone running for president in a time of war who was so unqualified to be commander in chief.

Now Kristol thinks that the most important thing during a time of war is "character, judgement and the ability to learn." It's not clear why Kristol thinks he's qualified to make that call.
