From Bill Kristol’s column in today’s New York Times:

This is William Kristol’s last column.
What wonderful news to greet my Monday!

As Steve Benen puts it:

Not only was Kristol’s writing pedestrian and predictable, but he had an unfortunate habit of making obvious factual mistakes, which necessitated frequent corrections. Indeed, at last count, Kristol prompted four corrections in one year — though, if you want to get picky about it, one of the four included two separate factual errors in the same column, which would bring the total to five.

And that’s just counting the demonstrable errors of fact. Errors of judgment were found in practically every piece.

Back in May, Glenn Greenwald had an item on the “sloppy, error-plagued and incomparably hackish columns” Kristol has produced. Regrettably, the next seven months worth of content was no better.
