A Visit from St. Prickless

There are a lot of Holiday traditions that people know and love. Being kind at least occasionally, spending time with family, music and cookies and liquor and trees.

But I'm going to guess, one of those holiday traditions is not Bill Kristol writing bad parodies of bad poems?

But that is apparently just the tradition Kristol, who you must admit did bring back the tradition of invading countries for stupid reasons, wants to aim for.

And what better than re-writing 'A Visit from St. Nicholas' a poem already so trite it seemed beyond making worse, but this is Bill Kristol we're talking about.

Obamacare’s reeling, there’s progress in ’Stan,

It’s important next year that we stick with the plan.

By then we’ll have entered the era of Boehner:

Our pocketbooks fuller, our politics saner.

Is that a re-write of Clement Clarke Moore or a line from The Joker in The Dark Knight?

The 'Era of Boehner'? I don't think my tear ducts could take it.

Once again, Here's the fuller "pocket book" that Bill Kristol considers "saner".




Well, Kristol's pocket-book is fuller -- and he's as just as "sane" as ever.
