This isn’t about health care, but I couldn’t resist a brief post about the consternation with which the “progressive” blogosphere has responded to Bill Kristol’s addition to the NYT stable of columnists. Here’s a typical example:
One of the world’s most prestigious news outlets has apparently given this thug space on the most valuable media real estate in existence.
This is what it means to be a “progressive” these days: pose as an open-minded, intellectually-engaged citizen of the world, but wet your pants when faced with an alternative viewpoint.
More “open-minded” commentary on the Kristol story can be found here, here, here, here, and here.
UPDATE:
Captain’s Quarters has a good post on the Kristol kerfuffle in which Ed Morrissey points out the following:
The same people who celebrated Kristol’s departure from Time suddenly got a case of shrieking hysteria when they found out that the Times would publish a Kristol column once per week.
Very open-minded!
