I'm sure Bill Kristol will tell us all about it in next week's column for the New York Times. And the Times will then issue a retraction/correction/clarification a day or two later. Then they'll reiterate their position that hiring Kristol was the right thing to do, and anyone who objects or fact checks his column is "intolerant."

2. It IS working. They wouldn't be attacking still if they weren't scared it wasn't working.

Holding hands up as the mob runs him over. All is Well, All is Well.
