"Sloppy, Error-Plagued and Incomparably Hackish Columns"

Jon Stewart once asked, wistfully, "Oh Bill Kristol, are you ever right?" As Kristol continues to write columns, the odds are starting to stack up against it. ("It" being "Bill Kristol ever being right.")

Kristol was disparaging Senator Barack Obama's candidacy in saying that the 41-point beating he took from Senator Hillary Clinton in the West Virginia primary was a unique occurance, that he could not "...find a single recent instance of a candidate who ultimately became his party’s nominee losing a primary by this kind of margin."

ThinkProgress would like to draw Mr. Kristol's attention to Romney's decimation of the GOP field in Utah.

The title you see above is actually a quote from Salon's Glenn Greenwald, who has saddled himself with the unenviable task of keeping track of Kristol's mistakes. (Spoiler Alert: The initial run at the idea yielded enough matieral for an entire column.)
