There are few people in this world that have been as consistently wrong as fired former New York Times columnist William Kristol.

So, what to make of the fact that this supreme maven of mendacious malarkey is poised to accept a $250,000 award from the ultra-conservative Bradbury Foundation?

Here’s Gawker:

Good morning! Bill Kristol will receive $250,000 for being an asshole who is always wrong this June.

Kristol, the dumb son of a smart conservative who went crazy, is a lazy thinker, a terrible writer, and, as we mentioned, he has always been completely wrong about everything.

So because there is essentially an extensive and quite well-funded private welfare fund for hacks who get everything wrong, the Bradley Foundation is going to straight-up give him $250,000 for no fucking reason.

It must be nice to live in a world where, no matter how incompetent you are and how royally you fuck up, there will always be a foundation made up of fat, money-laden plutocrats ready to give you a quarter of a million dollars to continue fighting to keep a Radical Gay Negro Muslim President from raising their income taxes by 3%.

Update: Here’s a little backgrounder on the Bradley Foundation:

To further [its] objective, Bradley supports the organizations and individuals that promote the deregulation of business, the rollback of virtually all social welfare programs, and the privatization of government services. As a result, the list of Bradley grant recipients reads like a Who’s Who of the U.S.Right. Bradley money supports such major right-wing groups as the Heritage Foundation, source of policy papers on budget cuts, supply-side economics and the Star Wars military plan for the Reagan administration; the Madison Center for Educational Affairs, which provides funding for right-wing research and a network of conservative student newspapers; and the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, literary home for such racist authors as Charles Murray (The Bell Curve) and Dinesh D’Souza (The End of Racism), former conservative officeholders Jeane Kirkpatrick, Jack Kemp and William Bennett, and arch-conservative jurists Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia.
