The man who's wrong about everything moves to Washington Post

Weekly Standard founder William Kristol is laughed at by millions for being wrong almost every time he opens his trap.

Last year, Kristol wanted Bush to give the Medal of Freedom to officials who administered torture and conducted illegal warrantless wiretaps. This added to Kristol's record of being one of the right wing's most preposterous commentators.

For the past year, Kristol has written a column for the New York Times. But now this gig has unceremoniously ended with just the words, "This is William Kristol's last column."

But dumb losers like Kristol usually aren't quiet for very long. (Hell, Newt Gingrich resigned his House seat in disgrace 10 years ago, but the media still asks his opinion about every news event.)

Now Kristol has been hired by the Washington Post to pen a monthly column and contribute to the newspaper's blog.

The Washington Post used to be highly respected, but it's gone so far to the right in recent years that one wonders if its printing press didn't get mixed up with Sun Myung Moon's Washington Times, its right-wing competitor. In 2006, the Post launched a conservative blog - but no parallel liberal blog. (The conservative blog was quickly scrapped because its editor committed plagiarism. However, the wingnutosphere still holds him in high regard and continues to link to his articles.)

Hiring a laughingstock like William Kristol isn't a good way for a paper to earn respect.
