'With all due respect, this is chickensh*t': Bill Kristol calls B.S. on Jeffrey Goldberg

So, remember that hit-piece-esque article by Jeffrey Goldberg about deteriorating U.S.-Israeli relations?

Well, Goldberg would just like to make it clear that the nasty insult wasn’t the point of his piece:

Right. Do you buy that? Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol sure doesn’t, and he let Goldberg know:

.@JeffreyGoldberg With all due respect, this is chickenshit.

That just about sums it up, yep.
