Even conservative Weekly Standard editor and FOX News contributor William Kristol admitted on FOX News' February 2 post-speech coverage, which Hume anchored, that private accounts are, at best, irrelevant to the solvency issue:

KRISTOL: But the Democrats really dislike the following, which they may have some truth to: The president is using an unquestionable fact, which is that there's a solvency problem with Social Security -- too many retirees, not enough workers to justify individual accounts --

HUME: He's using it to justify --

KRISTOL: Right. Which may be desirable, but are not necessarily implied by the solvency crises. You could solve that by simply raising taxes, decreasing benefits, increasing the retirement age, etc. Now, the president is entitled to say, "Let's do both things at once, let's deal with solvency and improve the system, as he sees it, by having individual accounts." The Democrats want to split these apart.

how EXACTLY was the goof's words nuanced? Did he EMPHASIZE the positive in the vernacular, or did he just blah blah blah? Before any statement like "Bill Kristol tells truth" gets aired here, i think these pert-in-nancies MUST BE ANSWERED! ('scuse my english)
