Kristol: Americans ‘Screaming And Yelling’ Over Libby Commutation Are ‘Ridiculous’

On NBC’s Today Show this morning, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol defended President Bush’s decision yesterday to spare former Cheney aide “Scooter” Libby from a 2½-year prison term, saying “this was a courageous decision” because Bush had to deal with “all the screaming and yelling” from Americans opposed to the commutation. “Look at Joe Wilson’s ridiculous comments just now,” added Kristol. “Look at Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, the New York Times, the Washington Post…”

Host Meredith Viera cut off Kristol and interjected, “There are many people who feel that this is a travesty of justice. So those who believe that are ridiculous?” “Yeah…I do think it is ridiculous,” responded Kristol. Watch it:

[flv http://video.thinkprogress.org/2007/07/KristolToday.320.240.flv]

Kristol believes a great majority of Americans are “ridiculous.” According to a poll taken last night by SurveyUSA, 60% of Americans say Bush should have left the judge’s prison sentence in place. Only 32% of Republicans and 20% of Independents said they agree with the president’s decision.

Additionally, Kristol’s defense of the commutation does not hold up to scrutiny. Kristol argued Libby should not serve time in jail “for having a different recollection about a conversation with Tim Russert, which is the only thing he was indicted or convicted on.” Libby was found guilty of obstruction of justice, which special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said is like when “the umpire gets sand thrown in his eyes,” preventing the discovery of why Valerie Plame’s covert identity was leaked.

It wasn’t only “a conversation with Tim Russert” either, as prosecution lawyer Peter Zeidenberg noted in his closing statement. In fact, Libby claimed to have forgotten “nine conversations with eight people over a four-week period,” which the jury simply did not find credible.

Digg It!

    Yeah, what’s this crap about equality before the law! Such nonsense!


  2. Angry One says:

    As Scooter Libby awoke this morning to find God in his heaven and all right with the world, Robert Novak led his apologists in regurgitating the trusty Republican “criminalization of politics defense” to fend off criticism of President Bush’s shocking endorsement of law-breaking. Of course, that’s what the conservative movement has been reduced to. Whether the scandal involves the outing of Valerie Plame, the misdeeds of Tom Delay and Jack Abramoff, or the U.S. attorneys purge, we can always count on the GOP to recast its rampant criminality as mere political disagreement.

    For the grotesque story, see:

    Never Forget that William Kristol is responsible for the attacks on September 11th, 2001.

    And he’s still alive to go on TV and tell more lies.

  6. War4Sale says:

    Kristol is 100% correct.

    It is absolutely ridiculous to expect the Bush Administration to respect the rule of law at this point.


  7. linda says:

    ‘a difference in recollection’

    nice set-up by viera to allow that lying prick to spew more lies. did she have the facts at hand to rebut them? i’ll go out on a limb and say ‘no’.


  8. VerbalKint says:

    Kristol continues to build the case that he is the biggest loser alive.


  9. Texas Democrat says:

    Nothing new here, Kristol rimming the presnit.


  10. nanlichi says:

    This is a great way to solidify the 80% against the Chimperor, call them ridiculous. That will certainly swing them back to your point of view.

    You have to admit that Bush has been extremely effective in aiding the cause of Democrats. He makes it almost too easy to kick the living shit out of the Republicunts in the next, and next several, elections.

    He has aided the cause of Al Qaeda too though, we need to work on that once the real Americans get back in control.

    Not soon enough.


  11. scootie puff junior says:

    Bill Kristol is the one who sounds “ridiculous”. He should really just go away he has zero credibility. Wasn’t he one of the ones who was “screaming and yelling” that Iraq had WMD? Hmmm… thought so.


  12. corinne says:

    It’s been said that Bill Kristol says what Dick Cheney thinks.


  13. dennis says:

    A majority of people voted for Bush in the last election. Doesn’t stop a lot of Democrats from claiming that majority is a bunch of morons.


  14. Crump's Brother says:

    Just as Coulter deserves no exposure, neither does Kristol.

    He’s been wrong on everything he said regarding Iraq. He has no credibility at all.

    Why is it that the MSM keeps putting people on that have no track record of being right on anything?


  15. werenotgonnatakeit says:

    Exactly why is anyone asking this man for his opinion? Everything that has come out of his wide, flat mouth the last 6 years has been completely wrong.

    Ridiculous. YOU are ridiculous and the idiots who put you on tv like you have something relevant to say are ridiculous.


  16. Juan C says:

    mmmmm…no. I still dont care about what this guy says.


  17. Democrat Soldier says:

    William Kristol: proof that you only have to drink the neo-con kool-aide to continue felating Pres. Bush and get paid to lie!


  18. ForTruth says:

    Kristol thinks any form of public opinion is ridiculous. Only the PNACers are important to him.


  19. EvilCornbread says:

    Uh, those numbers don’t add up. If 60% thought that the prison sentence should stand, with 68% of Republicans agreeing and 80% of Independents…then considerably less than 60% of Democrats thought that the sentence should stand. Somehow I find that difficult to believe.

    Based on the SurveyUSA post I think I see what’s skewing the numbers, but yeah, presented as-is, it doesn’t make any sense.

    If this were 1938 Germany, Kristol would be propaganda minister.


  27. ForTruth says:

    We should take note of that.

  30. Spudge_Boy says:

    Good news.

    It only took about 2.3 seconds to get my Bill O’Rielly blasting Foxs “News” watching neighbor to state that “Bush went too far this time.” when we discuss Bush’s pardon.

    All it takes are the facts.

    Even NeoCons are pissed about this one. It is bad for the entire republican party.

    Anybody up for deep fried albatross?


  31. LandSurveyor says:

    wow how does he get so much airtime. America is a mess.


  32. SGT Higgins says:

    I really don’t mind that his sentence was commuted. I wouldn’t have cared if he had been pardoned. Was he wrong? Yep. Did he do it? Yep.

    But he didn’t kill anybody or rape a child…drunk driver’s and more violent offenders are let off everyday in this country, there’s where your sense of outrage should be focused. Priorities askew?

    Comment by Graham — July 3, 2007 @ 2:02 pm

    It’s obviously a plot by the left-wing media. If they give these blowhards enough exposure, they will convince the majority of Americans how corrupt and incompetent they are. Plus the left-wing media gets to disguise its agenda by giving exposure to right-wingers.

    It’s diabolical, I tell you!

    And Troll Sgt Higgins gives us a good idea of the right-winger respect for the Rule of Law. As long as there’s someone else worse, bad-doing can always be excused.

    I bet Sgt Higgins is a BIIIIG fan of O’Lielly and his outrage du jour.

    Bush could eat a kitten live on National TV and Kristol would say those were were revolted by it are ridiculous. If you are in the Bush/Cheney mafia, you can do no wrong according to Kristol.

    But he did destroy the career of a Covert spy, and the entire covert operation surrounding her, plus put her life, and the life of everyone she dealt with in jeopardy. She was involved in nuclear proliferation, thereby putting our national security at risk through the exposure. Where’s your outrage for that? Priorities askew? So sgt., why do you hate America and support nuclear terrorism?

    Since America is “majority progressive,” the country, therefore, is losing its standing as a superpower and it’s people are stupid enough to get defensive with media-inflamed propaganda.

Leo Strauss, the father of modern neocon theory, believed that societies should be run by a small elite and that the masses didn’t know what was best for them. In neocon philosophy, the masses are something to be fooled with what Strauss called “noble lies,” because the masses would never agree to what the small elite wanted to accomplish. Neoconservatives have no respect for the American people and no respect for our laws and institutions.

    Comment by jakethedrake

    Nice list jake. Just a thought – you don’t have a woman in your life do you? I mean who would spend the time giving us an absolutely huge listing of names – most of which mean NOTHING to normal americans. Libby was a direct report to cheney, then to bush. libby lied to keep the illegal behavior of those two – plus many others – out of reach of the GOP appointed spec prosecutor. libby continued to lie to the FBI & grand jury. Your list is impressive in that you can write the english language, but it has noting to do with the present case involving libby. Bush did what he did to protect himself and cheney – why on earth would a patriotic american be happy with that? Next up for libby is the medal of freedom. That will buy his silence forever, right jake?

    You are giving this little minion too much importance. I see him as the idiot who gets killed first in any terror b-movie.

    I think V.V. must be on the tail end of one her infamous all nighters.


  68. tarazan says:

    For Neocon Kristol…whether the majority are mad or angry as he describes them by saying they are”yelling’ it makes no difference to him,as long as the PNAC(Project for the New Century) still in place..


  69. Edmund Blackadder says:

    This is the kind of titanic shit that happens when you allow the wrong sort of people take the helm of your ship of state, yanks. Question is, do y’all have the wherewithal to take it back? My bank notes are on ‘no’, but I’d be completely delighted to lose this wager. Over to you.

  72. Steve Hendricks says:

    At least one other person noted the numbers don’t add up. The problem is that that while the SurveyUSA poll indicates 60% of the sample favored leaving the sentence as is, the breakdown by partisan affiliation didn’t take into account the third choice of granting a full pardon. Thus, while only 32% of Republicans and 20% of Independents supported the commutation, it does not follow that 68% of Republicans and 80% of Independents supported the judge’s sentence.

    My guess is the “pardon” option was totally composed of Republians, dragging down their support for the President’s action.


  73. Mr. President says:

    Comment by JoeySoCal — July 3, 2007 @ 2:22 pm

    Indeed.

    “Remember Clinton”

    he did it too.


  74. JoeySoCal says:

    Obstruction of Justice as to why our soldiers are dying in Iraq? Could there be a more significant circumstance for the obstruction of justice to occur, than an investigation into the reasons why our soldiers are dying in Iraq?


  75. David B says:

    Not surprising, Kristol is part of the nazi cabol that thinks it is above the law. He one of the protected elite.


  76. spit take says:

    “Remember Clinton”

    …

    he did it too.

    Comment by Mr. President — July 3, 2007 @ 2:24 pm

    So, Mr. Pee, are you saying that Bush is as bad as you always thought Clinton was?

    Or that stuff that Clinton did that Bush has also done is okay?


  77. Frank J says:

    I love watching the moonbats go wild. Bush should do this more often.


  78. Flaco says:

    Clinton pardoned and commuted the sentences of 400 people


  79. kasinca says:

    Scooter Libby lied to protect Shooter Cheney, a five deferement coward during the war he was old enough to serve in, and Dubya Bush, the drunken AWOL coward who never completed his agreement with the Texas Air National Guard, during the same war, for their lies to help start a war with Iraq, a third world power who never attacked us or even had the ability to attack us. These bastards have killed over 3500 of our troops, countless Iraqi citizens and none of the sorry bastards have a relative serving in their war nor has anyone of them attended the funeral of any of our troops who have paid the price for their lies. And the morons in the 26%, the knuckle dragging, bottom dwelling, trogolodytes, defend these actions. This says it all about the supporters of the thugs in the Bush Crime Family.


  80. RB-Chicago says:

    Kristol is ONE OF THE BIGGEST LOOSERS in this whole disaster.

    Hopefully, the ICC will get him too!


  81. Crump's Brother says:

    Mr. President,

    But I thought Mr. Bush was above Clinton? I thought he was going to bring honor and morals back to the office?

    That was part of his platform. He wasn’t going to do things the way Clinton did.


  82. KingCranky says:

    I just want to smack the mealy mouths of those so disgustingly backing this traitor, and the traitors infesting 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

    Let’s see the Dems call Libby to testify about Cheney’s role in Plame’s outing

    I’d like to see W try to apply “executive privilege” in covering a convicted felon, but if he does, then it’s time to zero-out ALL funding for the Executive Branch-Not the agencies, bureaus or departments, just those Presidential and Vice Presidential staff working out of the White House

    And to cut off a major loophole, make sure that private donations can’t be used to meet those payrolls, if paychecks are issued, let them come out of W’s & Cheney’s pockets and wallets

    While the chief counterargument would be that banning such private donations might be a free-speech violation, since there’s nothing in the Constitution addressing such an issue-that I’m aware of, apologies if wrong-and since Congress hasn’t spelled out how to address such an issue, this current Supreme Court is of the opinion that for something to be valid, every single “i” must be dotted and “t” crossed

    That’s exactly why the Court ruled against low-paid health care workers recently, because Congress didn’t address those concerns concretely, concerns which the court held allowed those workers to be treated as they were. If the Administration were to actually try and use such private donations, without that ability being spelled out anywhere, this Court would smack them down

    This commutation shows that treachery against our Constitution and our intelligence analysts/covert operatives has a thriving community at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and that actually protecting the US public against another terrorist attack on US soil does not factor one bit into the President’s or Vice President’s decision making, not in the least

    But hey, who knows, maybe “commuting” Traitor Libby’s sentence will get that US attorney’s firing fiasco to go away, or the situation in Iraq to suddenly become much more positive, or get the public to rally around warrantless spying on domestic communications

    Let’s see if W “has the stomach” to hold a press conference to address why he let Libby off the hook for helping to destroy a career and a vital network of overseas informants and double agents designed to prevent WsMD from falling into the wrong hands

    Once again, when W needs to show REAL spine, he instead crumbles completely and decides that “personal accountability” has NO place in his Administration


  83. ForTruth says:

    George Washington pardoned and commuted sentences too.


  84. Ronald Reagan and Master Satan says:

    Clinton pardoned and commuted the sentences of 400 people


    And Daddy Bush pardoned an INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST named Orlando Bosch, as well as the Iran/Contra TRAITORS to cover HIS ass and MINE.

    But he didn’t kill anybody or rape a child…drunk driver’s and more violent offenders are let off everyday in this country, there’s where your sense of outrage should be focused. Priorities askew?

    Comment by SGT Higgins

    My sense of outrage is bigger than yours, apparently. I have room for drunk drives and for criminals in the White House.

    But which is the greatest danger to the most people? One drunk driver (who should be imprisoned) or someone who deliberately participated in a plan to discredit a critic of the Administration’s war plans?

    If anyone’s priorities are askew, it’s yours.

    Comment by ForTruth — July 3, 2007 @ 2:32 pm

    Did George Washington do it to protect his worthless ass and his worthless assed VP like Dubya did? Just curious. This is all to keep Scooter from singing the Cheney chorus of the song…


  89. detroitsuperfly says:

    I thank Bush for commuting Libby’s sentence against the will of the people and for republican talking heads for justifying it. They just handed the presidency to Hillary. These dumbshits jsut made their own worst nightmare a reality.

    Comment by Mr. President — July 3, 2007 @ 2:24 pm

    Right Mr. President of Ignorance. Do remember Clinton, to see what hypocritical nonsensical children you Corrupticons are. Clinton got a blow-job, and lied about it. The lying deserved some punishment. But the blowjob had no effect on anybody other than the two people involved. The blow job had no affect on policy and the actual job of the president. That is to be clearly distinguished from Scooter’s case in which his lying to a grand jury served to obstruct justice in determining why our soldiers are dying in Iraq.
    To summarize, the blow-job didn’t hurt anyone, but obstructing justice into the justification for invading Iraq has an affect on the lives and deaths of many human beings, at least half of which your callous side claims to care about, those being our American soldiers.

    As opposed to the list of GOP voters, otherwise known as criminals, pedophiles, and traitors to our national security? Loser.

    Comment by Flaco — July 3, 2007 @ 2:34 pm

    That’s the entire list!


  96. Jeremy says:

    The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel: “mostly this commutation fails on the most basic premise. There was no miscarriage of justice in Libby’s conviction or his sentence. The trial amply demonstrated that he stonewalled. Like President Clinton’s 11th-hour pardons of an ill-deserving few, this commutation is a travesty.”

    Trolls: THIS is how a true Conservative would put it. Yes, Clinton’s pardons were wrong. Does that excuse Bush’s pardon/commutation? Of course not!

    Perhaps you would be taken more seriously if you accepted that your guy’s actions are in the wrong, and that those are the things being debated now.

    Trolls, the Clinton did it too defense is old and childish. Is that all you got? You all are a bunch of losers, the 28% group. I hope you’re all happy with the mess your king George left on the porch. Time for the liberals to take office and clean up your miserable mistakes. I never thought I’d live to see a bigger loser than Nixon, but you did it with king George. Oh yea, to to make your day, Regan was an asshole elitest bigot as well.

If someone got hurt or the rule of law got prostituted in the process, “Oh well” according to Billy.

    You’re drifting away from the real world, SGt.

    I said I had room for all the necessary outrage, and you decide this means I don’t care about imprisoning drunk drivers — even though I said that we should. “Where’s the harm?” Where did I suggest anything of the kind?

    We have room for drunk drivers and for politicians guilty of treason. There’s no either/or involved, no matter how you try to create that unnecessary dichotomy.

    And your last paragraph makes even less sense. The “critic” referred to was Joe Wilson. Your attempt at obfuscation is just pointless.

    If you want my take on sex offenders, there’s this: when I got married in 1991, the judge who presided (in our home) was the same judge who had gotten a lot of press because she ordered one offender to put a huge warning sign on his front door. I thought it was a great start. I think a facial tattoo might be a little extreme, but then again, maybe not.

    I see you are in the military however Sgt Higgins. I just visited your page, and see you have a .mil address, so I apologize for doubting you.

    That being said, it is curious that someone who is currently serving in the US Military has time to blog in here 12 hours a day. (based on your post count). I guess my question is, (and I won’t hold my breath for an honest answer), does the US Military have a new “blogging program” designed to put the military and the government in a better light, and to try to refute all of us “rabid libs”?

    No new blogging prog. I try to pop in and pop out when I can, but I do spend way too much time here. I have a real issue with my new ‘desk job’. Just not cut out for it. This is just a temp. reprieve due to my son’s illnesses.

    Like now for example, I’m takin’ off, enjoy your holiday.

    The pentagon (and RNC) have very active campaigns that they coordinate to spread propaganda and disinformation through the mainstream media and blogs. Why do you think all of the talking heads use the same lingo, and same talking points on virtually every outlet – including the wingnut bloggers that basically either copy and paste (m12) or paraphrase the same bullsh*t daily? It’s an Orwellian propaganda campaign – pure and simple. Paid for with our tax dollars – how sad is that?

    Well, I guess pointing out that michael had called posters here “you losers” moments before he identified name-calling as evidence of stupidity must have chased him from the thread.

    I guess some wingnuts find their own hypocrisy too much to face. Most seem perfectly comfortable with it, however.

    Too true. I learned ages ago there’s no reasoning with an unreasonable wingnut. Easier to just bash them around, and remind them how much of a hypocrite they are…

    Be careful. Ms P’s feelings get hurt very easily when others direct harsh language toward it. I suspect it’s most likely to happen when the Ritalin start to wear off.

  213. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper says:

    Here’s how these poor, fallen excuses for human beings work. “Michael,” a particularly dispicable con troll around here spent about an hour chiding people for not giving examples of Kristol being wrong about things. Crumps Brother finally brought up one of Kristols many nuggets – that it was “pop psychology” that Sunnis and Shiites couldn’t get along.

    Michael then ran away and got back into his hole and we haven’t heard from him since. Cowardly, intellectually dishonest, sociopathic and disgusting, these trolls are not worthy of the slightest respect.

    They are sorry excuses for what they think they are. They are cowards and they are traitors. The idea that they should cheer the corruption in this government many of us served to defend is hideous. This is a progressive board and we do not need reighwingnut morons on here cutting and pasting bullshit from Drudge or the other propaganda sites. We should treat these worthless pieces of shit as they should be treated….less than American and unwanted. They add nothing resembling discourse and they are liars and cowards.

    There’s a kind of person we all run into in life, hopefully as rarely as possible: the kind of winning personality who cheers his kid at the weekend game when he makes a play by elbowing his opponent in the teeth when the referee isn’t looking. “that’s my boy!”, he’ll yell in your ear, spraying you with beer spittle and halitosis. Then this stupid prick will scream bloody murder when he/she perceives some transgression from the other side, whining that his kid didn’t score the goal, “because he was pushed, and the ref ignored it, the son-of-a-bitch!”. Principle means nothing when this person thinks he’s winning, but you’ll hear nothing but whining and accusation when he’s playing catch-up. This is the character of Mr. Kristol and most of the pod-people who write in here. When their party occupies the seat of power, then perjury and obstruction of justice in the covering-up of an act of treason mean nothing; when out of power a lie about a blowjob is serious enough to overturn a presidency. For years conservatives have railed against the evils of moral relativism; now they wallow in it like the 800-pigs they are. The chimp-in-chief is their kid, and they LOVE him.

    could not care less what the American people think. Thats been
    obvious from day one, to all, save the the brain dead. We all
    knew this would happen. After 1000 trial balloons in the State
    Media. If your waiting for Bill Kristolmeth to say something the
    least bit Honorable, its a fool on a fool’s errand. At least give the
    Monster an A for continuity. Just expect the worst from them,

  245. frenchfries says:

    He’s right, of course. How ridiculous of us to actually think, this administration would upheld the law…!


  246. frenchfries says:

  247. Beverly S. Hill says:

    Bill Kristol is ridiculous! AND, irrelevant!


  248. Harold says:

    Bill Kristol needs another pie in the face — and one for his fellow clown, David Brooks.


  249. Cleatus the slack-jawed republican says:

    Kristol’s mouth sure is PUUURTY!


  250. Nancy says:

    Did you all notice the little slip when he responded with “not leaking…uh…having a different memory than…”!!! PRICELESS!!


  251. Probus says:

    Kristol has no credibility left. He has been wrong from the run up to the Iraq war, through the invasion and post invasion as well. He is part of the neo-con cabal that can’t admit how wrong they have been on so many fronts. They are an embarrassment. Bush made a mess of Iraq, under the leadership of Rumsfeld which is why Rumsfeld had to resign after the democrats (thankfully) took control of Congress. That is also why a member of the Iraq Study Group much scorned by the neo-con cabal (of which Kristol is a member) Robert Gates was put in charge of the Defense Department.

    Kristol said that we would be greeted as liberators instead our brave armed forces were greeted as invaders. Other members of this misguided cabal like Wolfowitz (who proved he is as corrupt as they come) said that the war would pay for itself. He was wrong. Gen. Shinseki who said that the war would cost a lot more was fired. Gen. Casey who was against the surge was also replaced. No matter how much the neo-con cabal hates to admit it Libby is a convicted felon. He committed crimes and was found guilty and should have served all 30 months of his sentence.


  252. SGT Higgins says:

    Yea, sorry about your boy. I’d donate but I’d rather not have my name and credit card on a pentagon watch list, if you get my drift.

    Comment by BARTLEBEE

    Thanks, I really appreciate the sentiment.
    Oh and BART? You may already BE on that watch list….if you get my drift. lol


  253. MSK says:

    Like Bush himself, Kristol lives in his own make-believe world, surrounded by lies. This is the same guy who still thinks the Iraq policy he advocated is working out swell. All of these nutjobs — add Wolfwowitz, Pearle and many others to the group — need to be locked away for the good of society before they reduce the earth to a smoldering mass.
