Bill Kristol on Fox News Sunday, he just unloads on the McCain Campaign. I can’t think of any adjective he didn’t cover, he made sure he got “stupid and flailing” in there .

Update: Glenn Greenwald post on Bill Kristol.

Though McCain didn’t bring it up in the debate, since then, the campaign has followed Kristol’s advice, talking about Ayers more than any other single topic. But now that it is conclusively clear that these attacks are failing – that they are actually backfiring and making Obama more popular and McCain and Palin more unpopular – Kristol went on Fox News this morning and attacked the McCain campaign for running what he called a “stupid campaign” and “a pathetic campaign” because the attacks “haven’t worked” and they’re “doing things that don’t work and they keep doing them” – without ever bothering to mention that he, Kristol, just last week, was one of the loudest and most vocal advocates for relying on these character attacks against Obama.

That’s typical Bill Kristol – not only chronically wrong about everything, but far worse, completely incapable of acknowledging mistakes. He just suppresses them, pretends they don’t exist, and in that regard is the perfect face for the right-wing movement that is dying a painful, harsh and profoundly well-deserved death in front of everyone’s eyes.

What we’re seeing in this video is just the start of the angry recriminations in this movement as they seek to blame each other for what has happened.
