Neocon Purge At Time With Kristol, Krauthammer Out

New York Observer:

Two conservative Time magazine columnists are on their way out the door: Neither William Kristol nor longtime contributor Charles Krauthammer will be on contract with the magazine starting next month. Mr. Krauthammer confirmed the news to Off the Record, and a spokeswoman for Time said Mr. Kristol's contract would not be renewed.

And according to two sources familiar with the discussions, Time is in negotiations with National Review editor Ramesh Ponnuru to sign him to a contributor contract. Mr. Ponnuru, who in 2006 published The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life, has written twice for the magazine over the past month.

Now try some Krauthammer.

September 11th, 2001, to April 9th, 2003, a period which, in responding to an attack out of the blue, this administration has redefined the world, reoriented American foreign policy, and put in place a profound new approach which I think will stand with the 15 weeks in history as one of the more remarkable achievements, both intellectually, militarily and diplomatically, and done by a foreign policy team, national security team, which I believe is the most successful and the most impressive since the Truman-Atc­hison-Mars­hall team and the others of the late 1940s.

This was Kristol in action before the war.

"There's been a certain amount of pop sociology in America," he told National Public Radio listeners in the war's opening weeks, "that the Shia can't get along with the Sunni and the Shia in Iraq want to establish some kind of Islamic fundamentalist regime. There's been almost no evidence of that at all," he continued. "Iraq's always been very secular."

Every time I see Charles Krauthammer's face, I am forced to look up the word: "ugly" in the dictionary. I wondered if the word had been re-defined lately. Krauthammer gives new meaning to the word "ugly".

In a just world, Kristol and Krauthammer would be spending the rest of their lives changing bedpans at Walter Reed.

Does Time want to be a mouthpiece for lies and deception? If they do, then they can't expect us to waste good money buying their magazine.
Americans are finally waking up to the mountain of lies coming from the right, and are tired of it. Time wants to make money, so is following along, slowly, behind the American public.

They belong in an insane asylum. Willful ignorance of reality is a sign of mental illness.

More like a Neocon shuffle than a purge.

It looks like Time Megazine is dedicated to having conservatives idiots on its payroll. It is reported that Time megazine will sign on Ramesh Ponnuru...the idiot that appears in the Washington Post.

HALLELUJA !!!

Even as these two seasoned liars are finally reduced to working as toilet scrubbers (if there is any true Justice) I am ure they will still continue to employ the same "editorial" integrity that they used to such effect in the run up to the war in Iraq and their utterly failed attempt at an iranian war.

I can just see them now, reinterpreting the facts surrounding their new scatologically related working conditions, telling bathroom patrons that they ought not think of it as fecal matter, but rather, as a powerful fertilizer, capable of "growing new democracies in the middle east", as they rub it all over themselves and encourage others to do the same.
