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:

No spin. No doubletalk. A cogent defense of his action — and one that shows a well-considered sense of justice. (“I thought he merited it.”) Indeed, if justice is seeking to give each his due, one might say that Dick Cheney aspires to being a just man. And a thoughtful one, because he knows that justice is sometimes too harsh, and should be tempered by civility.

And just to show he's bipartisan, Billy offers this oh-so irreverent thought on the Illinois Hair Helmet:

Blagojevich is even more terse: “I want to make money.” And when an opportunity came along — a vacant Senate seat — he didn’t sit around studying polls and consulting focus groups. He got to work. He knows — as Americans have always known — that the good things in life aren’t free. 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.”

It’s also nice, in this day and age, to see an example of family togetherness and marital harmony. Rod and his wife, Patti, seem to be in accord on so many things. For example, in a disinclination to turn the other cheek...

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"? Or can we expect his next column to reflect on the underappreciated Human Resource Management Skills of Charlie Manson?
