More pie please...
Why is anybody still listening to these people?
If you look back to see what all the FOX News "political geniuses" had to say when the Democratic nomination race began, it gets almost funny. And let's not forget others like Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, David Gregory...the Wrong-Righties list goes on.
They continue to blab as they though know exactly how everything will play out. And yes, they continue to get it soooo wrong.
Here's what conservative columnist Bill Kristol offered on Fox News Sunday on December 17, 2006:
"KRISTOL: You know, Bill Clinton won a nomination in 1992 against a weak field. Mario Cuomo, the governor of New York, chose not to run. George Mitchell, the Senate majority leader, chose not to run. Al Gore and Dick Gephardt, who had run in '88, chose not to run. The heavyweights didn't run. Bill Clinton had a sketchy field against him and won the nomination, despite various missteps and flaws.
Hillary Clinton, it looks like to me, is now going to follow in Bill Clinton's footsteps. If she gets a race against John Edwards and Barack Obama, she's going to be the nominee. Gore is the only threat to her, then. She wants to be the centrist.
I think she's taking some risks in staying on the center, not going to left, which is intelligent. She can still beat the left-wing democratic candidates, I think. And then she's pretty well-positioned for the general election. So this is all good for Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama is not going to beat Hillary Clinton in a single democratic primary. I'll predict that right now."

This is why so many people laugh at Kristol's political analyses...period.
I actually like some of the more reasonable righties, but Kristol (along with Rove and Cheney) has always been a burr under my saddle. I loathe his smug look, his questionable moral rectitude, and his partisan attack crap.
And, while I don't think it's OK to prevent someone from peacefully exercising their freedom of speech, I have to admit that his pie in the face moment made me smile. He was delivering a pro-Iraq war speech .....
