Bill Kristol Wonders: How High Can I Shovel It Today?
Little Billy Kristol just loves taking a dump on the op-ed pages in the NY Times. Take today's entry, praising the "straight talkers" like Dick Cheney. Commenting on Big Dick's recent defense of telling Pat Leahy to fuck himself:

As he put it eloquently in discussing the vacant Senate seat, “I’ve got this thing, and it’s [expletive] golden, and, uh, uh, I’m just not giving it up for [expletive] nothing.”So is this just li'l Billy's way of rubbing our noses in it by way of saying "look what utter shit I can submit to the Times and GET PAID FOR IT"?

Rod and his wife, Patti, seem to be in accord on so many things. For example, in a disinclination to turn the other cheek...
