Rule of Thumb

lol...great minds, and all that....

If he says he is "bullish" on a stock, short it.

Because without someone to feel superior to, JK just like 99.9% of the other liberal journalists turn out to be nothing but political hacks.

Check out JK votes on the Tingle Meter and see the next time he comes close to being right. We may have health care, crap and trade and have the country ridden straight in to a 3rd world economy before that happens. Oops that is happening. Good news JK you may be right soon.

Surely you can't mean our savvy political press corps...?

David Gregory.

…how about Mika Brzezinski?

savvy political press corps- is an oxymoron. And in many cases just moron.

Hillary as with many of the narcissistic boomer politician crowd is incapable of being out of the spotlight. Where can she go to remain in that spotlight?

Will she remain Secretary of State for 8 years, assuming that Obama can repeat? Will she challenge him in 2012? If he does a double, and Biden is replaced as VP in the second term (or if he stays) the VP will be the favorite in 2016. It is not in Hillary's character to play second fiddle. To become a Senator she would have to challenge a sitting Demo, not likely.

Whether Albany is a second rate city is irrelevant as it will give Hillary a platform for several years.

Bill Kristol may not be a crazy as JK certainly is!

Freeper in full troll mode: good sideshow.

Love the liberal "intelligence" Name call, deride and attack. Beats thinking doesn't it. But then you already know that!

square, it's the miracle of capitalism, especially as it relates to pundits. Thomas Friedman who was egregiously wrong about Iraq is still viewed as a "Middle East expert." Peter Beinart, another clueless pseudo-intellectual pundit who cheerleaded the invasion of Iraq and who attacked those who knew the Cheney administration was operating a lie-filled PR campaign to start a senseless war, also "fell up" to a better position.

I don't know what it is about punditry that allows the thick-skulled and consistently-wrong to be rewarded.

Of course, watching the same banking geniuses who tanked the economy take home millions in bonuses may be worse yet...

When was neoconservatism discredited? Gallup recently printed a poll showing 40% of Americans are conservative and only 21% liberal.

You are writing to Joe Klein on his Time blog when Joe has been wrong on just about everything the last decade. So was Thomas L and so has been just about every MSM pundit. I am not a big fan of Kristol but he's been right on Israel, Afghaistan, Iraq, Iran and Russia.

Many of the recent party polls have been positive for the GOP and it's not the moderate wing.

rdw56, really?

"I am not a big fan of Kristol but he's been right on Israel, Afghaistan, Iraq, Iran and Russia."

Right on Iraq? In what way? Right on Aghanistan? In what way? Right on Israel? In what way?

Kristol is, was, and always will be clueless on foreign policy. He and his fellow fanatics (Hi, Dick!) in the neoconservative movement drove the country over a cliff and we're still unsure about being able to recover from their reckless misadventures.

Well starting with the most recent in Iraq, the surge was very successful. Joe and Thomas L were not just wrong they were humiliated. Joe has been cheerleading Obama on his braindead 'No Settlement' stance. That was idiotic. Kristol got it right. Joe sided with Obama on his equally moronic Honduras stance. Bill pointed out that, "once you see you are agreeing with Chavez and Castro don't you know immediately you are wrong?" It took a month but Obama reverse policy. Bill also supported Dick Cheney in describing Obama as 'dithering' . What term has been most used to describe Obama on Afghanistan? That's correct, Dithering. Bill was also correct on Russia. Obama caved on missle defense and was humiliated by Russia. He stabed Eastern Europe in the back and has nothing to show for it. Bill was right on Iran where Obama is still trying to engage and still being mocked by the Iranians.

How's that deadline doing?

Bill was also right on cap and trade and global warming. Obama isn't doing to go to Copenhagen because he has absolutely nothing to show them in terms of legislation.

Lastly Bill was also correct on the stimulus package. He said it would not stimulate anything but the deficit and it hasn't. Ok he wasn't entirely correct. John Murtha, Charlie Rangel and a few dozen other theives were stimulated.

No disrespect wd40, but you may want to visit some websites with more text and fewer pictures.

So how did you feel about Obama reversing his no settlements policy? He comes in full of vim and vigor without a clue and announces NO SETTLEMENTS. Was it two weeks ago he announced NEVERMIND. BiBi gets Hillary to praise Israel at a joint press conference in national TV in Israel that their offer to defer settlements in East Jerusalem is unprecidented. That's not walking backwords. That's running backwords and without shame,

"ilusion of dissension" what a hoot! The dems are in utter chaos and have accomplished zilch. They can't even agree on what time to take lunch.

Hillary and B.O despise each other, no secret there, she wouldn't pi$$ on him if he were on fire and vicey versy.

The reason it's plausible is Obama is doing such a bad job and had lost independents and moderates. It's too early for Clinton to think about it but Teddy K, with the horrible legacy of murder, took on Jimmy Carter.

No one is thinking Hillary wants to be governor.

Tweety was SOooooo pleased to have Uncle Fred on his program that he was in slack cutting mode. Malek "during the Nixon period" is now in that special place called the Republican Sinkhole. The Village does not do recall very well. Exception to all rules: when it comes to Bill??????

KT was on right after that. Since there wasn't any disclosure of what a loser Malek is, viewers are led to believe that Malek is just as legitimate source of information as KT. So sad. So corrupt.
