Guess Who Has a Big Target Pasted on His Back?

Bill Kristol may wind up carrying a share of the blame for the GOP debacle that could unfold in nine days:

The most ardent promoter [of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate], however, was Kristol, and his enthusiasm became the talk of Alaska’s political circles. According to Simpson, Senator Stevens told her that “Kristol was really pushing Palin” in Washington before McCain picked her. Indeed, as early as June 29th, two months before McCain chose her, Kristol predicted on “Fox News Sunday” that “McCain’s going to put Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, on the ticket.” He described her as “fantastic,” saying that she could go one-on-one against Obama in basketball, and possibly siphon off Hillary Clinton’s supporters. He pointed out that she was a “mother of five” and a reformer. “Go for the gold here with Sarah Palin,” he said.

He may need to have some major surgery to get all of the knives out of his back. The "gold" has turned into grade A manure.
