Jim: I’ve looked at that 2004 NYT piece you had stored
in your mind’s computer and found no references to Kristol being
squishy on life issues, just in typical fashion taking up John
Kerry on his call for sending more troops to Iraq — what in due
course came to be known as the Surge, which surely saved our
bacon in that war. That was Kristol’s top priority — but I
didn’t detect any change in his social thinking in order to get
it realized. Frankly, I can imagine a number of other reasons why
Kristol would prefer a liberal to Pat Buchanan even though both
are staunchly pro-life.
