Wee Willie, Big-Time(s) Columnist


Wee Willie Kristol, ace pie-catcher and now the New Yawk Times' latest blunder, debuted on the op/ed page Monday, taking Nixon apologist William Safire's slot. (Wee Willie, you might recall, was canned at Time, where he was inexplicably replaced with a Bush-league wanker, Ramesh "I Google Myself, Therefore I Am" Ponnuru.)

M.J. Rosenberg at TPM Cafe says it wasn't pretty (Rethug National Committee talking points seldom are). Andrew Rosenthal, the useful tool, continues to deconstruct the paper of James Reston and Russell Baker. Someone stop him before he pinches off another one.

UPDATE: Wee Willie couldn't complete his first poo flinging without making an error. As is being noted far and wide, he misidentified winger Michelle "Cheerleader" Malkin as the source of a quote in his column.
