Kristol Boasts: Liberals Got ‘Some Coffee In Styrofoam Cups, We Had A Pleasant Dinner At George’s House’



This morning on Fox and Friends, right-wing New York Times columnist Bill Kristol discussed his recent dinner with Barack Obama at George Will’s house. Kristol, who said he enjoyed lamb chops at the dinner, said the meeting “really is supposed to be off-the-record — I really don’t like the fact that people are talking about it.” Nevertheless, he proceeded.

Kristol claimed that Obama did not persuade him or any of the others at the dinner:
I don’t think anyone changed anyone’s mind. Everyone’s a grown up and has developed the views they’ve developed over a lot of years. It was a pleasant discussion, but I think people are putting a little too much emphasis on it and giving it a little bit too much publicity.

But Kristol then pledged that he’ll “end up supporting [Obama] on some things.” He added, “Conservatives are not monolithic. … I do think people actually are going to split up in some interesting and new ways.”

Kristol concluded the interview by taking a sarcastic, subtle dig at liberal pundits who had a one-hour morning meeting with Obama the next day (the Obama dinner with conservatives went for 3 hours):
Yesterday, he met with the liberal columnists. And they had a pleasant hour in the conference room in his office. They got some coffee in some styrofoam cups. We had a pleasant dinner at George’s house, and they had some coffee from the machine in the office. But I wouldn’t read too much into that.

I doubt it. If he didn't pay for it himself he probably used his own warchest of donations.

Eh, I more annoyed than anyone would label Andrew Sullivan or Maureen Dowd "liberals" than the fact that Obama had dinner with those asshats at Will's house.

That blingee is awesome.

Oh Lord you just know Maureen Dowd was like "*bats eyelashes* We're one seat short... I'll do my patriotic duty and sit on the president's lap"

and Rachel Maddow was like "ummm it's right there, you just kicked it over and shoved it under the table."

And both Dowd and Sullivan were like "goddammit >:("

HA! I can totally see that happening.

(Incidentally, Lindsey Graham just finished questioning Holder. I have to tell you that anytime I see or hear Graham speak, I think of you!)

I guess no one knew where to stick rational middle-of-the-roaders? "Oh, Andrew Sullivan is gay and thinks torture is bad! He must be a liberal!"
[info]arathesane 15th-Jan-2009 10:55 pm (UTC)
Heh, well Sullivan is a conservative. But he also supported Obama and is fairly famous so I'm sure those are primarily the reasons he was included the "liberal" group!

Can't he at least pretend</p> that conservatives aren't tied to class warfare?

Why does he have two crowns?
[info]schmiss Re: My Bill Kristol Blingee Kicks Your Blingee's Ass!15th-Jan-2009 07:54 pm (UTC)
Because he's that rich.
[info]bluetooth16 Re: My Bill Kristol Blingee Kicks Your Blingee's Ass!15th-Jan-2009 07:56 pm (UTC)
Because one crown wasn't big enough for his huge ass forehead.

For future blinging, you can change the size of a lot of the crap to fit your subject. XD

This was the first blingee I ever made. My newer ones are not as big.

Why thank you! I love whipping it out whenever there's a Kristol post.

Hold on a minute before blowing one's gasket. The nice dinner the conservatives had? I read it was actually provided by George Will himself? Of course I can't find the link *keeps looking*
[info]proenza_chanel 15th-Jan-2009 09:50 pm (UTC)
I'm really starting to love conservatives...they brag about fancy dinners (even though liberals are 'elite')and make racist CDs (while still calling themselves the 'big tent' party). KEEP GOING!

oh and they lie about stupid stuff....


"They got some coffee in some styrofoam cups."

Actually, we didn't actually get that. There was some water in a glass jug in the corner. I know Kristol is a fact-free zone, as the New York Times has discovered to its chagrin. But he could make his status-obsessed, narcissistic comments without making shit up.-http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2009/01/fact-checking-k.html

EJ Dionne put it brilliantly on Countdown last night: Obama needed food to get through the meeting with the conservatards. The more moderate folk? Eh ... not so much.
