George Will's Christmas presents finally came!
He's got a brand new bowtie and no opposition at the "This Week" roundtable. He gets to say any fool conservative thing he wants for 15 minutes and no one is there to call bullshit. Maybe Stephanopoulos will even toss him a baseball question at the end...

1. George is so boring he appears to bore himself. His 'tone' alone pisses me off, can't watch him.

2. "Appears to." But frankly I think he thrills himself to no end.
Note how he reacts when someone like Zakaria dares to disagree or correct him-- he looks like someone just pissed on Jesus.

3. GeorgieBoy may be smart enough to know his time is nearing the end..
One can't be wrong about almost everything and maintain any credibility - even on television.

4. He's not as bad as others
I'm a podcast listener because with my 3 kids acting like animals, I can't actually sit and watch any of the Sunday shows.

I disagree with just about everything Will has to say, but he's not as bad as, say, David Brooks or Andrew Sullivan. But it's the politicians who make me say "bullshit" out loud as I'm dusting my furniture. Or Tom Friedman. Blech. Some of the so-called moderates make me want to smash my iPod.

6. I'll give you David Brooks. He's off the scale on the tool meter.
He's not only full of shit, he looks so nervous about it.

5. I will never forget how Georgie Snuffalluffagus


asked (I believe Tommy Franks) "How long will this Iraq war last?" like two minutes after we'd invaded. What a freakin' tool.

You know, "journalists" are probably ranked lower than used car salesmen in the respect department these days. They are all pretty much tools.
