Barring evidence to the contrary, it seems fair to suppose that he puts his shoes on the right feet in the morning, knows how to butter his toast and may be able to brush his teeth. These are not, however, things that I want to read about.</p> Saying Bill Kristol never gets anything right is clearly an overstatement.

Really? Billy the K has been right roughly one out of eight tries? I would have estimated his average at a pristine 0.000.

I defy you to provide ANY example EVER of Billy the K being right on ANYTHING. (And, no, spelling his name correctly doesn’t count [besides which, someone at the Times probably does that for him]).
