Hey Liberals, Don’t Worry

By William Kristol 11.3.08



I've sworn never to let Kristol get my lulz, but this one ganged me aft allay (however that goes).

What we see here, folks, is parody politics overlaying neocon sophistry, taking the principle of confabulation-on-twisted- reversals to the limit. Passed off as Neumann's (Alfred E.) own Tikkun Olam.

It's that "resolute stoicism and cheeful fatalism" to go with "what conservatism means" that neoconservatives might be revisiting.

I hear there is a bill brewing in the fillibuster/veto proof Senate-to-be that calls for retroactive wealth re-distribution for all registered Republicans, avoidable if proof of renunciation of Bush-Cheneyism and cohorts can be produced. (Random checks will do at first; cash preferred.)

Radicals are calling for mass interrments, expulsions and maybe some sad death penalties for the really guilty ones behind the lying wars, following Nuremburg style trials. "It Ain't Over Til It's Over", their tee shirts say. But moderate liberals only want to see everyone who ever along put in shaming stocks, Salem Witch style, forever. Including Colin Powell, who draws perpetual ceramic clean-up duty from now on in any case. lol.

I'm actually torn here.
