<i> “Young people are sometimes wrong,” concluded one of America’s foremost experts in being horribly wrong.</i>

Ah, Wonkette, this is why we pay you the big bucks.

I know I've been saying this like a broken record since last November, but why is anyone listening to any of these schmoes anymore? Any of them, Katie?

Yes, they are working their way through the checklist:

<strike>Rape liars</strike>Women? Check <strike>Perverts</strike>Gays? Check <strike>Wetbacks</strike>Latinos? Check

Bill Kristol keeps thinking that the VP spot is all about looking pretteh and attracting Teh Wimmens vote. He thought Teh Wimmens would vote for Quayle cause he was (putatively) cute and handsome and blond. This was apparently why Wimmens voted for Kennedy, so...

Then he thought Teh Wimmens would vote for Palin cause she was identifiably female, according to the standard male benchmarks (boobz or GTFO).

My conclusion is that Bill Kristol has a terrible case of gender confusion and keeps choosing VP candidates whom he would vote for because he finds them sexeh. And the GOP continues to listen to his advice cause they have no idea what sexeh looks like.

This was such a wonderland of stupid that I actually finally looked up Bill Kristol on teh googles, and discovered that he is five years younger than I am.

Fuck me.

ChetKincaid, I retract all my objections to Boomer-bashing. Many of us must have had an opportunity to strangle this motherfucker before he became notorious, and we failed.

On the other had, there is the fact that his certainty that "da yout" is wrong virtually guarantees the long-term success of sexual-orientation equality. Fucker is a reliable anti-oracle.

Taking political advice from Bill Kristol is like taking lessons in filmmaking from Uwe Boll.
