Kristol-Clear: Podhoretz's Punditry Channels William Kristol

This is priceless: originally linked to here (no longer available) by Eric's Learning Curve blog, the post dated November 11, 2005 quotes an excerpt from Norman Podhoretz's piece Who Is Lying About Iraq? -- and guess what?

Among the many distortions, misrepresentations, and outright falsifications that have emerged from the debate over Iraq, one in particular stands out above all others. This is the charge that George W. Bush misled us into an immoral and/or unnecessary war in Iraq by telling a series of lies that have now been definitively exposed.

He was wrong -- surprising? ...no, not really. As for the lies that took us to war, those are now very well documented, thank-you-very-much. So, does this mean Norman Podhoretz is as smart as William Kristol...?
