Summarized by Radar’s new media columnist:
The bottom line here is that Barack is Andrew’s latest infatuation. The fact that Sullivan’s previous love objects have included Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, the war in Iraq, and unsafe sex makes this endorsement slightly less exciting for the rest of us. Personally, despite some of his missteps, I’m still pulling for Barack. So, having Andrew in my corner reminds me of Tom Lehrer’s description of how liberals felt when LBJ began to escalate the war in Vietnam in 1965: “like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis.”
Yep.
Hmmm, Andrew was probably waiting for Obama to start cozying up to homophobes before he could really get on the Obama-wagon.
Nothing gets Andrew hotter than people who tell him what a naughty sinful boy he is.
Don’t forget that among Andy’s other obsessions were the campaigns AGAINST both male circumcision, and the scientific consensus that catastrophc global climate change is a virtual certainty.
It’s mind boggling that The Atlantic would bank their long-earned reputation on such an intellectually dishonest charlatan as Andy Sullivan.
