excitable andy is proving that moniker in spades.

I don't bother with Sully anymore, so thanks for the excellent tip.

Fascinating, and entertaining. As clear a dissection of the mental exercise of a paleoliberal (however much he claims to be conservative).

He's going to need sedatives or a rehab for mental exhaustion when he's finished gyrating...

Why are you promoting that guy? Why reference him at all? There are plenty of good writers, but none less consistent except to his own dementia of the day.

Thanks, my weekend would not be complete without:

Now I understand: she's a pro-life mother of a Down Syndrome child. And she's not from the South.

What a dick.

Go Read Sully on Palin.

No.

Go Read Sully on Palin.

No.

Go read Sully
No.

Go read?

No. He passed his self-by date a long time ago.

Feh. self-by s/b sell-by. Or maybe that was Freudian in some interesting way.

I'll read Ross Douthat's summary of Sullivan's non-partisan analysis though:

For months and months, all through Hillary Clinton's losing campaign for the Presidency, my colleague Andrew Sullivan insisted over and over again that his furious anti-Hillary partisanship was in fact a defense of authentic feminism . . .. [Y]ou'd think that Andrew would confine his attacks on Palin to critiquing her record and mocking her lack of experience, rather than, say, posting emails accusing her of being a bad mother for accepting the nomination, snickering over her children's names, and razzing her as a bimbo and a "trophy candidate."

All Class

Solidarity!

Considering that Andrew Sullivan once sent out an e-ad urging young boys to go "bareback" with him, I'm not surprised that he finds Sarah Palin too unsexy for the job, now that she hasn't had her Downs Syndrome son chopped up.

Andrew ought to consider that there are millions of NRA members out here in America who love Sarah Palin and hate him.

More Sully love from fellow Atlantic contributor:

I wish Andrew would go back to bashing the Jew-baiters, rather than reveling in their smears.

Any tool at hand when it's time to bash the opposing party.

PD: Reminds you of the early paleo-Earth scenes of 2001 sometimes, don't it? Grab that jawbone and start thwacking, he's getting away with our tapir meat!!! Sigh.

More from Ross Douthat:

I think the coverage of Sarah Palin to date - by colleagues I used to respect and publications I normally admire - at least partially vindicates this theory about the reception that would greet the kind of GOP I'd like to see. Which is a sobering thought, to say the least.
