Money has ruined the conservative movement

And this may be seen in the many examples of tragic stupidity that emanate from the Never Right. Maha pulls it all together on the occasion of Billy Kristol's $250,000 Bradley award for years of unremitting failure.
In any other context but the American Right, Kristol would be buried in obscurity. Since he’s a white man with a college education one assumes he would rise to a middle management position somewhere, in spite of his obvious handicaps. However, in a true meritocracy he’d be put to work doing something that involved simple, repetitive motions but no sharp objects.

Yes, Kristol graduated Harvard magna cum laude in three years and has a Ph.D., his biography says. But, folks, stupid is as stupid thinks. Either Kristol was dropped on his head post-Ph.D. or Kristol’s professors were paid off. There are no other explanations.

But then there’s Jonah Goldberg, both badly educated and intellectually incoherent. His silly cognitive misfirings are published in the Los Angeles Times and by Doubleday. And if Michele Bachmann belonged to any other party but the GOP, party leaders would keep her locked in the attic and out of public view. I could go on, but I’m sure you get the drift.
One way to cover up the idiot child is to pretend he is a genius not yet recognized. And in the case of the latest movement conservatives, they never will be, but at least they will be smarter than those who will follow.
