William "Bill" Kristol is a triumphalist American neoconservative, and a pundit, "analyst," and "strategist." He is the publisher of the journal of opinion The Weekly Standard. He is also acknowledged as being consistently and remarkably wrong about virtually everything.[2]
Bill appears with regularity, several times a year, on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, where he displays good humor in response to Stewart's rapier wit.
He was the only significant member of the Republican scribbling class to actively embrace John McCain in 2008, in contrast to others (e.g. David Brooks, David Frum, and even William F. Buckley's only son, for God's sake!) who appeared to retain possession of their faculties.
He is also a noted chickenhawk.[3]

Or on Sarah Palin: "A spectre is haunting the liberal elites of New York and Washington--the spectre of a young, attractive, unapologetic conservatism, rising out of the American countryside, free of the taint (fair or unfair) of the Bush administration and the recent Republican Congress, able to invigorate a McCain administration and to govern beyond it."
