Bill Kristol Supreme Court Prediction Fails (VIDEO)

Via Think Progress, another example of Bill Kristol making a prediction, and getting it wrong. On Fox News Sunday Kristol, a regular panelist, predicted that President Obama would nominate Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm to replace Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court. As we found out today, Obama in fact chose Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Kristol said Sunday:

I think he has made up his mind, and I think it's going to be Jennifer Granholm, the governor of Michigan, for this reason. Obama gave that interview Friday which we saw the snippet from. In that interview, he uses the term practical seven times -- I want someone with a practical sense of how the world works, I want someone with practical experience.

Watch Kristol's remarks below, and check out Think Progress for more examples of Kristol's failed visions of the future.

Progressives should actually listen to the people the Left disparages most.

There's a reason why these humans are targeted.

[Belisarius]

The editor of the Weekly Neocon did get the Sarah Palin nomination right.

Unfortunately every prediction since has been wrong. But, when all your predictions are illogical, you are not going to hit that often.

[listentome]

So much for his Kristol ball.

[Democrab]

He's still got a long way to go to pull even with Dick Morris on bogus predictions. Morris is the Babe Ruth of prediction stats in that he's hit more boners over the fence than any other talking head.

I don't think that Kristol cares that he got it wrong, because his comments were not just idle speculation about whom Obama would pick; rather, it sounded like he was practically endorsing Granholm.

It has been clear from the last 8 years that Bill Kristol has no earthly idea what he is talking about, yet funny thing is he always seems to think he does...

Its he and is "think tank" friends who led to the mess we are in now...

[applescruff]

Kristol get it wrong! This is news?

Imagine the names Kristol got called on the playground:

[PaBeagle]

Let's be thankful that 5000 of our best Americans didn't die this time based on the decision-making of this worthless piece of dung.

[Old Grandad]

Bill Kristolis, and always has been, a fourth-rater.

[GAPeach99]

Johnny Carson as Carnac would've done better.

[wadenelson1]

lmao

[ZimboChick]

beady eyes match the brain

[paulita]

And Spock would know :=)

[BeasleysMom]

I wish I was a gop. No mattter how many times you are wrong, no matter how many times you make du mb statements, you can still command a huge paycheck.

[Tzimisce]

He's Mallard Fillmore in the flesh.

[hemnebob]

oh my gawd...
everyone knows kristol is a i-know-it-all.
the fact that he doesn't is more entertainment than i can stand on a sunday.
he is the epitome of an old fartbag and that is one factor that is accurate.
