We need to get a lot smarter about this.

Kristol started with what looked like it would be a tirade against liberals, and then eventually backed into a centrist type discussion. Once the Bugs Bunny agenda had been settled, then Kristol returned to a type of Kristol who is more interesting - without his political agenda. Same type of Kristol was an early promoter for the removal of Rumsfeld - because he also provided reasons with his declaration.

Holbrook also made an interesting comment about being on such good terms with Gingrich and with Kristol's father. I don't think it was an idle comment which might be why Kristol started with a touch of venom. But again, the show was an hour. It takes that long to discuss any minor aspect of the Middle East - which is why short posts on this topic are so often nothing more than propaganda tirades. Which is why Nightline is now a flawed program.
