Fox's Bill Kristol takes 'benign view' of bridge collapse

Fox News political contributor Bill Kristol, appearing on the August 5 broadcast of Fox News Sunday, made comments minimizing the significance of a bridge collapse in Minnesota last week. At least five people were killed and 100 injured when the bridge collapsed Wednesday.

"I don't think this symbolizes any great failure of our infrastructure," said Kristol. "Once every twenty five years some bridge falls down unexpectedly due to engineering problems and it is unfortunate obviously but the idea that the whole country is crumbling is not, I think, credible."

The video can be watched below.

I saw the end of an exchange between Kristol & Juan Williams. Juan got off a pretty good one:
"Don't you think it would be better if we rebuilt bridges in the US rather the mayor's office in Anwar?" or something very close to that.

1. bet Bill's opinion would change drastically

if one of his loved ones were among the dead or missing. I read his comments as showing a total lack of empathy.

20. That is absolutely true. It's why he's so cavalier about the war, also.

He doesn't have a horse in that race, either.

BASTARD. Let's remember he wrote the manifesto of the PNAC - the one signed by cheney, rummy, elliott abrams, jebbie, wolfowitz, and the rest of those schmucks from Hell.

5. Maybe Mr. Kristol should wait for

a better analysis of the cause before he dismisses it so easily.

14. It's an interstate highway. And funding for those highways is

about 90% federal. While the state does the inspections, a lot of the money has to come from the feds.

8. Is that something cryptic?

I'm new here, and am wondering if there's something I may have said that is somehow upsetting?

[John Kerry VonErich]

11. Nah

Just a lil funny I made.

13. The reference is to The Mothman Prophecies.

This was a book, later a movie, about a strange creature called the Mothman who supposedly foretold the collapse of the Silver Bridge in Ohio.
