Charles Krauthammer 2

Guys like this really make me appreciate George Will. (A far superior writer and mind.)

An absolute apologist for almost everything the dubya administration did. . .without question the gentleman in question has skill with the language but in the beltway he's read mostly for unintentional humor in an attempt to discern the intelligentsia's attempt to explain why everything under sun during the last 8 years have been just fine and hunky-dory. . .

I give him some credit for raising solid questions concerning the bailout- but where was one-tenth this investigative quality and desire when his cronies were running things? One of the most obvious shrills in a major newspaper.

Quite the contrary, Krauthammer was one of the leading voices for action against Iraq, a Neocon, as you guys like to call it. He's an idealist for sure, and only slightly apologetic about that.

Kraut's initial inquires/issues about Iraq were quite underwhelming in the face of prevalent repub. feelings/actions. Subsequently, one could make an entire seperate list of his lap-dog tendencies with the administration.

Having said that, he is quite skillful with the language and one must admit he does something I like - cut a swath through some political correctness (albeit pointing in the direction he chooses.) Smart guy- but unlike Will he's got lapdog tendencies that drag down his rating.

I'm not buying the lapdog thing at all. It has been widely written that Bush was the lapdog to the neocon's. Krauthammer was one of them...no? His philosophy on the doctrine of preemption has also been widely written about, and criticized.
