Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol tweets ugliness from tar pit

In his 2/14 The Week essay, "America's spies anonymously took down Michael Flynn. That's very troubling," Damon Linker made an excellent point: Subversive machinations contrived by unelected dastards in the dim back-halls of the intelligence bureaucracy run violently counter to proper democratic government.

Wrote Linker: "Far too many Trump critics appear not to care that these intelligence agents leaked highly sensitive information to the press -- mostly because Trump critics are pleased with the result."

The writer does take pains to stress his own antipathy to President Trump, But, who would disagree with his general condemnation of democracy's contravention?

Why, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol. In a 2/14 tweet, the ever-smirking, drab-suited cretin and sworn enemy of our nation's leader chortled unabashedly at democracy's thwarting:

"Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic and constitutional politics [a counterfeit assurance, muttered perfuntorily and immediately swept aside]. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state."

Now, do not, from some misguided, charitable inclination, reckon that perhaps the dinosaur's tremulous limb had slipped. Instead, number Bill Kristol in the shameful rank of American democracy's despisers.
