William "Meth" Krystal doesn't sound like he believes his own op-ed.
Why Bush Will Be A Winner
By William Kristol
Sunday, July 15, 2007; Page B01I suppose I'll merely expose myself to harmless ridicule if I make the following assertion: George W. Bush's presidency will probably be a successful one.
See? He's not actually making the assertion. He's just telling you what he'd say if he did.
Because it worked so darn well for O.J.
He's not even speculating on a definitive assertion. He's telling you what probably will happen. IF he made the assertion. Which he hasn't.
What it comes down to is this: If Petraeus succeeds in Iraq, and a Republican wins in 2008, Bush will be viewed as a successful president.
I like the odds.
Hence his new nickname.
