How The Weekly Standard's Fred Barnes Measures Success

http://thinkprogress.org/2007/07/22/how-fred-barnes-measures-success/

How Fred Barnes measures success.

Barnes writes in the Weekly Standard, �Bush and the Republicans aren�t dominant. They�re a minority, but an unusually effective one. One measure of this: At the end of 2007, there will be more American troops in Iraq than when Democrats took over Congress in January.�

3. HAH!1 Beltway Bozos *never* give Shrub a "Down" despite all setbacks

When I sent a (of course: ) negative e-mail to the Beltway Bozos, I got an actual response, though from their flunky. She was aghast that I had had the nerve to "criticize the talent." This turned into an exchange, where I made the points of free speech and no ruling class, blah blah. And she attacked CNN. I ended it on the 3rd exchange, telling her to study some democracy.

5. Did Barnes and Mort Kondrake trade brains?

These two "capitol boys" have been working their schtick together for decades. Funny thing is that back in the 80s when they first took their show on the road, Kondrake was the total right wing asshole and Barnes played the role of more reasonable neo-liberal. Lately on the rare occasions when I can stomach a few minutes of them, it seems that Barnes is the raving bat shit crazy Bush fan and Kondrake is the mildly thoughtful right wing idiot.

When did they switch brains?
