... George Packer at The New Yorker makes the case for why the New York Times should in essence fire Bill Kristol, i.e. not renew his one year contract. The guy is so out of touch that he's delusional irrelevant. Maybe one day Fox will realize that too. (Hey, let's not lose our sense of humor!) ...

... really look short or fat on teevee, know? Oh and in St. Paul, he was walking behind Jonah Goldberg — who is a 7-foot, 300-pound goateed spittle monster — and Jonah Goldberg had worse press access than us. The Republican Convention! Jonah!

Although these two sides have apparently not been talking about Kristol's future, everyone else has. While I was gone for just a few days, Kristol’s Times job became the hot topic of conversation in media land. On Tuesday, Kristol told The Observer there’s been little drama at the Gray Lady, and mentioned being “ambivalent” over staying to Portfolio.
