Krauthammer’s Take

From Friday’s Fox News All-Stars.

On Interior Secretary Ken Salazar’s modifying the analysis of outside oil experts to support a moratorium on drilling in the Gulf:

Salazar adding the two [paragraphs] in which he calls for the moratorium — in a scientific report that you‘re claiming is peer-reviewed and hard science — when the scientists have not seen that . . . is a high level of deception. . . .

The declaration of a six-month moratorium is far different from asking for a pause that you could do for a quick safety check. . . .

And it’s economically devastating. The Gulf has already lost fishing, and lost tourism — and now it’s going to lose a huge industry, the oil support industry. That does not make any sense.


On the one-year anniversary of the election that spawned the Green Movement in Iran:

Twitter cannot stop a bullet.

That’s the lesson of what happened last year. There was a lot of romantic outpouring here thinking that Facebook is going to stop the Revolutionary Guards. It doesn’t. Thuggery, a determined regime that is oppressive, that will shoot, almost always wins.

 On Stephen Strasburg’s debut for the Washington Nationals:

Yes. I was there. I must say, it was the best game I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot. I saw Sandy Koufax [pitch] . . . The greatest performance in a debut ever and the most exciting game I think I’ve ever seen.
