The CR may well be a mess. It's certainly a sideshow. Perhaps John Boehner could have gotten a better deal, but it wouldn't have made much difference in the big-picture budget fight anyway. That fight is now underway, and the 2011 CR will be little noted, nor long remembered--unless the squabble over the CR fractures Republicans, and unless it prevents them from being able to focus the nation on what NR admits are "more important matters." The fact is the only way the 2011 CR will end up making much difference is if the deal is defeated in the Republican House, and the rejection leads to NR's [National Reveiw] "politically damaging shutdown" which then endangers future conservative prospects this year, and next.Weakly Standard
Billy wants to go Gadaffi bombing, NR is not that hot on the idea; but that is what Billy means by Conservative Prospects. Billy Kristol is as bad as the Socialists, a lover of Central Government.
