Did I read that second sentence correctly? Did Mr. Kristol really write, "Millions of Americans feel bad for Scooter Libby's family"? Does he really believe that millions of Americans give a shit about some war-mongering, far-right, piece-of-shit elitist liar? Surely you jest, Mr. Kristol. And what was that about an injustice that had been done? To Mr. Libby this injustice has been done? No, not to the members of our armed services does Mr. Kristol claim that these injustices have been done - those same members of the armed services who were sent to Iraq on a bunch of Fascist, uh, I mean Neocon lies carefully orchestrated by Mr. Kristol, Mr. Libby and all of their hawkish friends (who never actually bothered to serve in the military themselves) and then swallowed hook, line and sinker by the gullible "liberal-biased" media. I guess nobody of Mr. Kristol's privileged status believes these men and women and their families deserve an apology for that injustice, nor will anybody of Mr. Kristol's privileged status deem these men and women and their families worthy of an apology when they return from this doomed war and discover that their health benefits have been cut by the very same privileged group of daydreamers that sent them off in the first place. Oh, but for the innocent, downtrodden Mr. Libby and his family we are supposed to shed our tears, America.
Please. This whole tragicomedy begs the question: in exactly what universe does Mr. Kristol live? It is patently obvious that reality is nothing more than a petty nuisance to him and his cohorts, and that they are so far removed from reality the only thing that could possibly lead them back to it is death. But I'm not going to hold my breath for that kind of justice; the Mr. Libby's of the world don't receive that kind of justice, they only hand it out.
