Time drops Kristol, Krauthammer.
Starting next month, neither “William Kristol nor longtime contributor Charles Krauthammer will be on contract” at Time magazine as columnists. Time said the decision to cut ties with Kristol was “mutual,” and Krauthammer responded only that he has “a lot of things that occupy me.” The New York Observer reports, however, that Time is “in negotiations with National Review editor Ramesh Ponnuru to sign him to a contributor contract.”

and Kristol responded only that he has “a lot of things that occupy me.â€
Being completely wrong on every single topic, I guess that does take some time.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:32 amSame difference. Nothing changes except the by-lines
December 19th, 2007 at 10:32 amThere is still no way I’m gonna pay money for that rag.

1. organizing and cataloging his extensive collection of kiddie porn
December 19th, 2007 at 10:35 am2. practicing his smirk in the mirror
3. re-writing the history of GDumbya’s dirty little war in Iraq
4. “tutoring” Jeff Gannon
Hammer drops on Kristol?
Billy Krisco is an outright liar. One of the original Neoturds, this classless act is a one trick pony. Pounding the Iraq war drum wasn’t good enough. Now he’s pounding the Iran war drum. His politics, allegiances and prognosticating have all been 100% wrong.
His opinions are as bad as his writing. Bye bye, ‘lil billy. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!
December 19th, 2007 at 10:37 amKrauthammer wrote that “above all,” neoconservativism “is the maturation of a governing ideology whose time has come.” The original “fathers of neoconservatism” were “former liberals or leftistsâ€.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:38 amThe “Bush Doctrine,” according to Krauthammer, is essentially “a synonym for neoconservative foreign policy.
Interesting that they would drop these two bozos and keep Klein!!
I guess a small dose of reality creeps in then = Poof! – it’s gone!
December 19th, 2007 at 10:38 amDidn’t ‘lil billy inherit most of his resources from Daddy?
Another lucky sperm heir preaching bs & making millions.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:46 amSeems like this is good news, cept I don’t remember the last time I looked at Time Magazine. I can’t even remember the last time I even looked at the dog-eared one in a waiting room. they really don’t have have any news any more! I now read Crroks and Liars daily and other internet sites as well. the news is a lot fresher that way.
Then when Time goes to the net, it doesn’t work very well. Does anyone still read time?

I don’t have the Time. (rimshot)
December 19th, 2007 at 10:47 am10 or 15 years ago, that would have hurt these two columnists, but with their lucrative stints on Fox News, I am sure they couldn’t care less about Time Magazine.
I think it is odd that Time would dump them, given that progressives are shunning Time as old MSM. I guess Time wants to concentrate on the aging baby boomers, then close down when they all die.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:47 amPonnuru is a grenade throwing idiot.
Why hire anyone to replace Krauthammer and Kristol, anyway? Republican mole Joe Klein is already doing everything Time needs to catapult the propaganda.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:47 amCouldn’t have happened to a more delusional pack of neocon cowardly liars.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:50 amKristol was dropped because he kept submitting manuscripts with blood stains all over them.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:50 amI read Time magazine.
In the doctor’s waiting room.
When there’s no other source of reading material within 400 yards.
December 19th, 2007 at 10:51 am#11: I guess Time wants to concentrate on the aging baby boomers, then close down when they all die.
That would be the best thing that could happen to the corrupt, fact-free rag that is Time magazine.

December 19th, 2007 at 11:13 amI stopped reading Time when they published that slanderous article on Derek Zoolander.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:20 amHas O’Racist imploded yet over Time’s Person of the Year 2007?

I really wish it was Gore, the popping sound you would have heard was the right wingers heads collectively exploding.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:26 amBe interesting to see where Kristol ends up. May i suggest a lofty position in one of the many conservative think tanks? Maybe he’ll do a Wolfowitz and join in a behind the scenes role in the dying embers of the Bush Whitehouse.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:34 amPonnoru is the creepy gelding voiced dude that wrote the lame book about the American left called “Culture of Death”.
Boo.
As far as Farthammer and Bloody Bill Krusthole, good riddance.

December 19th, 2007 at 11:37 amKristol should start his own DINK-tank.

yes! yes! YES!
But that does not mean I will subscribe to that rag.

Why? he has PNAC to run, he is still chairman there.
December 19th, 2007 at 11:48 amRU; instead of reading Time while waiting at the doctor’s office, take up knitting. :-)
December 19th, 2007 at 12:05 pmA glimmer of journalistic integrity beginning to emerge? Or just time to reload their right wing hackatopia? Obviously, Kristol and Krauthammer are no longer credible. Maybe they are going to try some other right wing hacks who haven’t been discredited yet.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:18 pmTime magazine is going for the teen market with their younger, sexier, crazier reactionary dickwards.
December 19th, 2007 at 12:34 pmuh-oh, Righties – Sounds like “the market” is speaking.
“mainstream America” has no more shelf-space for Righty.
December 19th, 2007 at 1:43 pmWell, they have, after all, been wrong about everything. It’s about time.
December 19th, 2007 at 2:05 pmTime magazine hasn’t been worthy of its own reputation for years now; Kristol and Krauthammer contributed to Time’s decline. With Joe Klein as Time’s resident fool, they really don’t need to add another one of the same ilk — they might try for a little more balance — but that is probably asking too much.
