Bill Kristol TOTALLY SHAKEN on The Daily Show

[berni_mccoy]

John Stewart is TEARING HIM TO PIECES and having FUN doing IT!!!!

:wow: THE FREEPERS ARE TOTALLY TIPPED OVER!!!!

[BloodyWilliam]

1. Tivo'd.

I'd love to kick this guy's ass. Geez, he's like Ralph Reed in 10 years, only with "Republican" instead of "Christian Republican." Smarmy little shithead.

[liveoaktx]

62. VIDEO

TDS

[leftchick]

67. He looked like he had a coke jaw thingy going

Thank you for the link. Exellent.

[aquart]

2. DETAILS! Please!

[question everything]

41. First, he is trying to chuckle but it sounds like pig snorts

Second he is saying that Bush is a "good" president, that will be toughen by recent events. Agreed, than retracted, that Karl Rove will be indicted. Predicted that Miers will withdraw from consideration in two weeks.

Interesting that all the freepers with their books run to Stewart to promote their books there, even at the risk of being humiliated for five minutes, since it was found that their books do get a boost from being promoted on the Daily Show.

[stevietheman]

63. Note that as Kristol is saying Bush is a "good" president, and

that he would be toughened by recent events, it's fairly easy to discern that Kristol is trying to come off as half-serious or funny. Or possibly, he believes his position, but subconsciously knows it is weak.

[Pam-Moby]

3. Krystol is talking out of his ass.

Jon is kicking his ass. :bounce:

[MarsThe Cat]

4. HOWEVER-

Jon just ley him get away with a bunch of wmd LIES!!!

[berni_mccoy]

10. Nah, He let Bill HAVE SOME ROPE

then John STRUNG HIM UP WITH IT:

Bill ACTUALLY SAID keeping 150,000 soldiers so the WMD INSPECTORS could do their job would have been too costly...

JOHN TOTALLY RUNG HIS BELL WITH IT!!!! IT WAS B.E.A.U.TIFUL!

[onehandle]

5. He can't say one thing that doesn't contain a lie.

I can't believe how many lies he told in front of Jon tonight.

[RevolutionStartsNow]

6. Agreed, Jon is tearing him up and Kristol knows it

I'm not even sure why someone like Kristol comes on the show. Does he think ANY of the audience will buy his book, especially when Jon picks it up at the beginning and says "Reading this, I have to give you credit, you were wrong about Iraq way before anyone else was."
LOL.

[FreedomAngel82]

26. I don't know why either

:shrug: Same with people like O'Reilly.

[question everything]

44. Because publishers found out that books promoted on the Daily Show

do get a boost, similar to Oprah. So they are willing to tolerate five minutes of humiliation to do this. Santurum, too.

[jayctravis]

7. He did it delicately with nunchuks.

Then dusted off his hands and didn't hate him afterwards. Perfect.

[CelticWinter]

8. krystal has been nervous all week

I saw him a week ago on something and he looked like all the blood was drained from his body.....I LMAO he deserves to be on pins and needles.

[peekaloo]

14. He always looks like that....like Bob Woodward's anemic twin.

:-)

[Tinksrival]

27. I call him the smiling neocon

He creeps me out like a freaky John Wayne Gacy clown

[johnfunk]

39. Cheap Justice John Roberts has that kreeped-out Kristol grin too

Children of the Corn-servatives, if you ask me...

[Tinksrival]

53. Maybe it's the drugs they take.......

Pickles has it too.

[Tinksrival]

54. Dupe

[Tinksrival]

55. douple dupe

crap sorry

[Judi Lynn]

56. Oh, God! Someone should make a scrapbook of neo-con smiles.

Something IS creepy about these guys!

[arewenotdemo]

42. you nailed that!

[Tinksrival]

28. Opps

Double post

[Arugula Latte]

40. Yeah, that's it!

I always see him and think: "Hey, is that Woodward? No, it's that other guy..."

[grasswire]

59. Is Woodward old enough to be Kristol's dad?

I know that Kristol's parents are elderly. Irving and oh what's her name? She's some kind of an expert on Victorian morals.

[grasswire]

60. Gertrude Himmelfarb

That's Kristol's mother.

[Jacobin]

66. oh my

Gertrude's mother must have hated her

[FreedomAngel82]

29. I love it

I love all of these guys scrumbling around like their heads are cut off. :popcorn:

[pk_du]

9. william kristol or billy crystal?? n/t

[Elwood P Dowd]

13. William "Neocon" Kristol

Son of Irwin Kristol, one of the original Neocons from way back when.

[question everything]

46. And Quayle Chief of Staff (nt)

[Elwood P Dowd]

49. And a chickenhawk

And he was involved somewhat in the Arkansas Project.

[Marie26]

50. And a founding member of PNAC n/t

[Elwood P Dowd]

51. And a lying sack of shit during the NAFTA debate

<nt>

[mucifer]

15. poor Billy he's stuck with the same name

[tularetom]

17. When the dust settles

Kristol will be completely discredited. The true conservatives won't forgive him for being wrong even though they bought into his bullshit. Scafe or whoever is the $ behind his little dipshit mag will pull the plug and he'll be reduced to Dennis Miller status groveling around for a chance to get his face on tv.

[Gregorian]

11. Wow! Kristol is a tenth grader!

Me made Kristol look like a tenth grader!

Kristol was just repeating the same old tired talking points. He was truly flustered.

AND he said Rove will probably be indicted.


Otherwise, Jon's simple, candid way of just being honest had him on the ropes.

These people are total clowns. Exposed!

[Jara sang]

12. The guy stammers when he's nervous.

When he's on Foxnews Sunday he isn't so nervous. Probably because he knows the Daily Show audience will call him on his bullshit.

[FreedomAngel82]

43. Oh of course

On faux he can say whatever the hell he wants. Not on the Daily show.

[Marie26]

16. Bill Kristol has looked totally shaken & demoralized since

the Miers nomination. I think he defended Bush & put up with a lot in the hopes that Bush would nominate his great conservative justice. When that didn't happen, maybe Kristol finally realized that Bush really is only out for himself. Going on The Daily Show seems a little like an act of self-hatred. Maybe he's regretting his support for Bush (all this & I didn't even watch the show! Is it online anywhere?)

[Guaranteed]

18. Jon basically told him that the neo-con movement is finished.

Bill Kristol said something like, "Hey, whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger..." and Jon said, "Well, unfortunately...." kind of under his breath.

He covered it up by saying, "Oh, no, the Bush Administration"....but the implication was clear.

[Straight Shooter]

19. "Whatever doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger."

Not true. Sometimes, what doesn't kill you will cripple you.

Let's hope the neocons are permanently crippled.

edit typo

[Guaranteed]

22. I think Jon was implying that they're dead. nt

[Straight Shooter]

36. I think so, too.

I also think Kristol was trying to make the best of a bad situation by coming up with a trite response. There was even an implied threat in what he said, along the lines of, "Wait and see. We'll be back and we'll be stronger."

[arewenotdemo]

47. I'll believe that they're dead when the likes of Paul Wolfowitz,

Richard Perle and Elliot Abrams are behind bars for life.

Hard snakes to kill, all.

[fishwax]

21. That was great. It was almost like Kristol suggested it was failing

at one point, stewart said something like "the whole thing is going down," and Kristol said "the war in iraq? the conservative movement?" I thought it was funny that Kristol was equating impending failure with the conservative movement :rofl:

[Guaranteed]

23. Exactly. He even said it, not Jon. nt

[alfredo]

37. It seems like WK has been pulling away from bush

policy. He still tries to promo the Neo line, but his heart isn't in it.

[fooj]

20. I was stunned. Jon tightened the vicegrip!

He's killing him!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Peace.

[The Backlash Cometh]

When do you think they'll have the clip on comedycentral.com?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

30. It's better to go here

www.crooksandliars.com They play the whole thing. Comedy Central usually posts a partial version.

[EricWhitaker]

38. Is it up yet

I clicked on the site and it doesnt appear to be up. How long does it usually take? I cannot wait to see this!

[mucifer]

48. sorry, you probably will have to wait til some time tomarrow

but go to crooksandliars.com and download Letterman interviewing Al Franken and SNL's parody of bush interviewing the troops. They were both pretty good.

[FreedomAngel82]

24. Whoo-hoo!

Go Jon go!

[Marie26]

25. Could you post an update for the poor souls w/o cable?

[C_U_L8R]

31. Jon didn't have to do a thing

It seemed like Kristol was so ashamed of the reich
that he didn't even bother putting up a persuasive
argument.. and the half-hearted defense he
put up for Dubya was puncuated by revealing
smirks and giggles. He knows Bush is a joke...
he's just not allowed to say it.

That was stunning television.

[TheFarseer]

32. Bill looked like he wasn't ready to play

John came to play and beat him to pieces. It was like Bill thought he was sitting across from Brit Hume and no one was going to smack those hanging curve-balls out of the park.

[mucifer]

33. Jon almost seemed to feel sorry for him in the end

[Elwood P Dowd]

34. The Weekly Standard will become the Weekly Spinturd

Kristol and his Neocon band of crooks, liars, and thieves are being exposed. Even some of my repuke friends are dog-cussing these fools because of what they've done to the repuke party. They realize now that the Neocons don't give a damn about their party, and it's just being used as a conduit to feed their own agenda.

[johnfunk]

45. I've always called it "The Weakly Scammer"

It's basically a dumbed-down weekly clone of Bill Buckley's National(ist) Review, edited and engineered to instruct teh sheep on their talking points.

[Renegade Six]

35. Is it just me

or was Kristol laughing trying to get out talking point early on? lost faith?

[Bozita]

52. It's a tough time to be on a book tour when you're a founder of PNAC

Jon was too kind to Kristol. He didn't mention PNAC.

[Marr]

57. SO! What happens to the propaganda apparatus of a political

movement when that movement rots to nothing? I expect Mr. Kristol's paper has seen it's best days.

[Hatalles]

58. Where is the video?

Haven't seen this interview but something that draws this kind of attention is usually up on one of the video blogs by now...

[berni_mccoy]

61. Video Up Now

64. Here's my rant about the 'moran:'

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5158503&mesg_id=5158503

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

65. Just watched it an hour ago -- couldn't believe what I was seeing

I haven't seen Kristol for a long while, but he was all over the BBC in the run up to Iraq. Back then he was a vicious attack dog, a fierce defender of his ideas, of Bush and the neo-conservative movement in general.

Tonight he was just so pathetic. "I believe Rove will be indicted." In the old days he'd never of said that, regardless what he thought personally. Plus the stuff about the Miers appointment -- "She'll step down in the next 2 weeks." -- talk about not singing from the same hymn sheet anymore.
