Kristol admonishes conservatives
From the Weekly Standard:
Republicans need to point out that Obama’s economic policies aren’t working. But they need to resist appearing to relish bad news for the country on Obama’s watch. When rising unemployment numbers come out, there is occasionally an unseemly sense of celebration in the emails that come from various GOP offices. More in sorrow than in joy, more in confirmation than in vindication–that should be the Republican mood as the news of Obama’s failures, failures which damage the well-being of Americans and of America, rolls in.

One would hope that they would temper their glee because the bad news re-enforces how disastrous thirty years of Republican economic policy has been. That nine months of relative sanity hasn't reversed shouldn't offer a lot of solace.
Kristol telling Conservatives to react “more in sorrow than in joy, more in confirmation than in vindication…at the news of Obama’s failures, failures which damage the well-being of Americans and of America”, sounds so hollow and hypocritical. At least Limbaugh, with his “I hope our economy fails,” is more honest than that.
Of course they should be magnanimious, and even pat the good little liberals on the head for trying hard.

But crocodile tears, and generous displays of Virtue [tm], make for better PR. [chuckle]
