My Thoughts Exactly

Call William Krystol's pasty face to mind and the match is perfect


"For the past ten years at least, the conservative movement has been dominated by a bunch of pudgy, pasty-faced kids in bow-ties and blue blazers who spent their youths playing Risk in gothic dormitories, while sipping port and smoking their father's stolen cigars. Thanks to the tragedy of September 11--and a compliant and dim-witted president--these kids got the chance to play Risk with real soldiers, with American soldiers. Patriotic men and women are dying over in Iraq for a war that was never in America's interests. And now these spitball gunners, these chicken hawks, want to attack Iran--which is no threat to the U.S. at all. One thing I can tell you for sure, there may well be some atheists in foxholes--but you'll never find a neocon. They prefer to send blue-collar kids out to die on their behalf, so they get to feel macho--and make up for all the times they got wedgies in prep school. It shall be our considered task to take on the chicken-hawks of this world, and give them wedgies again."
