Kristol

If you ever had the faintest amount of respect for Bill Kristol (and I really haven’t), reading Glenn Greenwald should help dispel the notion that Kristol has a shred of human dignity. Kristol:

Well, Democrats care about the children, Brit, and so I think they should pressure states to raise the age of consent from 16 to 18 so that it’s clearly illegal for people like Mark Foley to hit on 17-year- old pages. . . . They could certainly pass a resolution supporting the Boy Scouts in their effort to keep people like Mark Foley from becoming scout masters, I think the Democrats could really do a lot of good for our children.

It’s not quite right to say that the above statement would be excusable if it had been uttered by an evangelical conservative Christian, but at least it would have been understandable. Kristol knows better, and yet has no apparent qualms about playing upon the basest prejudices of the Republican base.

What a piece of garbage.
