The End of an Error



Six of the sweetest words in the English language: "This is William Kristol's last column." Although it will really limit public discourse in this country now that Kristol's thoroughly uninteresting propaganda will be limited to his other seven or eight sinecures. I suppose the question now is who the replacement will be? Karl Rove? Erstwhile Dowd-for-a-painful-month Ann Althouse? Ace O' Spades? (I'd link to think that its financial crisis will cause the Times to question the value of paying a significant salary to writers who bring in approximately zero readers, but...)

Finally, since Kristol includes a quote from Harvey Mansfield, I have an excuse to remind readers of Martha Nussbaum's decimation of Mansfield's idiotic pensees about "manliness."
