Another day, another Kristol screw-up

You may remember Bill Kristol as the guy who said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the war would go perfectly and would pay for itself, etc. He was one of the key guys behind PNAC that pushed for the war long before 9-11.

He's also the son of neoconservative Irving Kristol and inherited Daddy's access to the media.

In January, The New York Times, supposedly the epitome of that darn Lib'rul Media BiasTM, decided to give the great psychic Kristol a regular column to represent the delusional side of the political spectrum.

He's also a FOX News contributor, but we know what their standards are..

In today's NYT piece, Kristol claims that Obama "was in the pews" during one of pastor Wright's controversial statements.

Turns out it wasn't true. Kristol had to issue a retraction because he didn't check his source.

Before you think this is a forgiveable slip, bear in mind this is Kristol's second retraction in less than three months. In his first Times column, he misattributed a quote from a column he cited.

John Stewart recently said it best, "Oh, Bill Kristol, Are you ever right?"

Kristol's career consists of a trail of factual errors and inaccurate predictions that would make The Amazing Criswell blush.

Why is this guy still getting a regular forum from the mainstream media?
