Kristol mocks New York Times, before Stewart points out Kristol writes for the Times.

Last night, right-wing columnist Bill Kristol was Jon Stewart’s guest on “The Daily Show.” They argued over whether Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has changed, and Kristol dismissed Stewart’s criticism by saying he was reading the New York Times too much. “Bill, you work for the New York Times!” Stewart reminded him. Watch it:

Stewart reminded Kristol, “You can’t look at past performance as a predictor, otherwise you wouldn’t be obviously still a pundit.”

    Kristol only works for Kristol and the NeoCons. Nobody else matters to this AsskLown.

    Why does William the Bloody continue to subject himself to Jon Stewart’s ridicule?

    Does he really think it makes him cool?

    Ooops.

    Open mouth, insert size 12 loafer.


  4. fletc3her says:

    I think we can all agree the gray lady has gone seriously downhill since they hired Bill.

    the conservatives are

    tripping all over themselves.

    Gotta guess that next year Stewart won’t be able to use that line. The Times must have some limits on how many retractions a columnist can have in a year before pulling the plug.

    Kristol will serve no purpose for the NYT after next Monday. The neoconservatives are about to be woken from an eight year wet dream. Maybe Dick Cheney will hire him as one of his house boys in Dubai after next January. He WILL have to submit his resume and references though. I here that Jeff Gannon is also vyeing for the job along with Wolfowitz, Rummy and Addington. George has also had his tailor working on a french maid outfit for good old Condie for his retreat in Paraguay.

    Brooklyn was there an article with that?

    I thought that the Washington Post was the ‘gray lady’.
    Anyhoo, if you meant the NYT, you can include Judy Miller.

    Kristol is a chicken hawk war criminal. He must be arrested and tried.

    Hi Trajan. Where ya been? That Ted Stevens verdict must have gotten you down, huh?

    Smack!

    Although I have to say, Kristol was never a “pundit”.

    Call him a water carrier, crony, propagandist, shameless tool, Bushbot… but never a pundit.

    Sorry fletch, my bad, the gray lady is the NYT.

  16. RUCerious says:

    How do pundits like Billy Krystology who’s been wrong 100% of the time, still get on TV to spout their inanity? I thought this was the ‘liburl’ media??


  17. Wayne A. Schneider says:

    To be fair, Kristol did immediately tell Stewart that he set him up for that. But then he followed it with, “It’s a good paper one day a week.”

    TP – When the NYT fires Kristol for that, will you let us know immediately?


  18. raynman says:

    Why is Stewart the one that asks the obvious questions and makes the crucial points while Brokaw and Tweety and the rest keep sipping the kool-aid.

    BTW, kudos to Rachel Maddow for her interview with Barack Obama.

    “It’s a good paper one day a week.”

    Which needed to be followed with “which one of the days your column is not published would that be?”

    That’s it exactly, ralph. He really does think he’s just part of the gang, laughing along with Jon.

    “DOH!”, Bloody Bill says as he “Homer Simpson” slaps himself in the forehead. LOL!

    Just saying . . .

    All hail Jon Stewart, the King of Snark!!!!

    Jesters have always been the ones with the unique ability to speak truth to power.

    Jon Stewart asks William Kristol:
    So tell me Bill, have ever written an article for the NYT
    It would seem as you must have because your logic clearly flawed.

    I’d like to think it’s because Jon is one of the most skilled interviewers on television. He knows how to be ideological without being an ass – something the conservative commentators have yet to learn how to do.

    #26 all boggled up, disregard

    All the news that’s fit to print, Bill?

    big “C” conservatives badmouth the New York Times, that’s what they do. you think he won’t cash his social security checks just because he hates social security?


  30. nycbassist says:

    I don’t usually comment on people’s looks, but Kristol has this constant expression of someone who farted in a crowded elevator, only he leaves a bigger stink behind.
