The Quick and Dirty Andrew Sullivan

Sure, we all want to keep up with the Internet's most popular hissy-fit artiste, but who has the time anymore?

Well, you're in luck. Iowahawk presents his own stripped-down and streamlined Andrew Sullivan Daily Dish blog.

You won't have to read Andrew Sullivan again, because, honestly, every day is pretty much just like this, only not funny.

And He Makes a Good Point: You know, Sullivan really does publish a lot of "You're great/I agree with you/Hang in there, girlfriend" letters from readers as "Emails of the Day." Like, a lot.

Seriously: What's up wit' dat? Who else could get away with that kind of self-serving bullshit?

Email of the Hour Update: Just got this note, which I think it's very important for you all to read:

Dear Ace: You rock my world. I agree with everything you said about whatever you were just talking about. You're just so fucking cool I just can't believe it. Sometimes I think you must be some sort of mental halluciantion, because surely nothing as great as you could exist in the real world.

Don't let the "dittoheads" or "partisans" bring you down. We all cherish your brave, unflinching, politically-independent voice. And let me know about that offer for anal. That's still totally on the table-- or on whatever surface you'd prefer. A ha ha ha. (But I am really serious about anal.) -- OliverW.

Well, thanks, Ollie. Very nice of you to say such kind things. I'm sorry that I can't publish every nice comment or email I get, but from now on, I'm sure the hell gonna try.

A public service. Thank you, Iowahawk!

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

1. Narcissist and shameless self-promoter
2. Almost completely irrelevant outside the blogosphere and certain trendy circles
3. Smug know-it-all
4. Into Anal

Are we absolutely SURE Andrew Sullivan and Wonkette aren't one and the same?

Posted by: Brian B on June 29, 2004 08:53 PM

Yeah..cause I'd do Wonkette.

I mean, I might do her just to see the look on her face, but still......

I guess I thought fisking William Raspberry, that coddled old fool, for his review of Moore had earned Sullivan a day off. By itself, it's surely more than I at least have contributed to good politics all year long.

"I don't understand," as they say, why you pass by reliably inimical people like Raspberry in order to have another whack at an unreliable ally like Sullivan. You have "a target-rich environment" filled with left idiots, left demagogues, and left traitors who are begging to be well and truly fisked. Instead you poke fun at Sullivan, who is an easy but otherwise pointless target. Show us what you can really do when you make the effort.

As Bill Clinton would say, because he can.

Doug,

I'm more annoyed by Sullivan than Raspberry because Raspberry is a old communist fool who isn't going to persuade any swing voters.

On the other hand, "independent," "conservative-leaning" Andrew Sullivan can swing a few when he makes his "surprise" endorsement of John Kerry on the October 22d episode of Hardball with Chris Matthews.

Plus, Raspberry does not have a blog which garners more traffic than mine.

Fawning e-mail #1,374: Ace, you're like a god to me. No really, I mean that literally; I have an altar set up in my spare bedroom and everything.

And while I'm at it, does anybody know an effective clean-up for goat's blood? That stuff stains rugs something awful.

Posted by: Mike on June 30, 2004 07:09 AM

Well, according to that annoying-as-hell guy on TV, OxiClean will do it. But I wouldn't trust him as far as I can spit. YMMV.

"...does anybody know an effective clean-up for goat's blood?"

Try club soda, then rearrange the furniture.

Really cool blog! What you say makes total sense! Keep up the good work.

Somebody should write a book about the greatest drinking stories of O'Toole, Burton, Harris, and Caine. One of my faves was Richard Harris went on a six week bender in the South of France without telling wifey. Upon return, she's screaming, and he simply replied "why didn't you pay the ransom"?

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too.
I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
