Jon Chait finds this gem from Bill Kristol:
[Obama's] pseudo-macho defense of "talking to experts" is itself professorial: He talks to experts so he'll "know whose ass to kick." Real men don't need experts to tell them whose asses to kick.
There's so much stupid in this sentence you could freebase it. If real men don't need "experts" to know whose ass to kick, then why does Bill Kristol -- or any other warmongering Republican "expert" for that matter -- have a job? All these guys do is sit around all day telling politicians which countries need to bombed to make America feel manly asses need kicking. It's not often you see someone make an argument to which their ongoing existence is proof of the opposite point. Unless of course, Kristol is arguing that Republicans aren't actually real men.
