As Marcus Epstein noted on Wednesday, William Kristol, recently fired as a columnist by Time, has now been hired as an op-ed columnist by the New York Times.Yet, the NYT already had David Brooks as their invade the world / invite the world columnist, so it’s hard to see what Kristol brings to the table that the more talented Brooks wasn’t already supplying better. Granted, Brooks sometimes sounds like his calls for more war aren’t really sincere, that he doesn’t pay much attention to which foreigners to slaughter next, that he’s just recycling stuff Kristol, Krauthammer and Ko. fed him. But, the pro forma nature of Brooks’s bloodlust is a good thing.
I guess the neocon world view has been proven so valid over the last four and a half years that the NYT just had to double up. After all, the neocons are the only respectable voices of conservatism.
