Gay-bashers.

You clearly haven't been reading at my place over the last several months...

Sullivan... hmmmmmmm... Sullivan, you say...?

Oh, yes. I vaguely remember, now. Didn't he used to be kinda sorta relevant, or something...? :)

My cockles are completely unaffected by this post.

Sullivan "too excitable"? Like the rest of us, Kaus had a ringside seat to Sullivan's protracted, carefully-staged, self-serving switchover from Bush to Kerry... so how can it be that Kaus now tries to tell us that this sort of thing is not calculation but mere "excitability"?

Could it be that Kaus is trying to preserve the credentials of one of the few, true Friends Of The Left that has proven he can draw an audience on the Right?

Uh, Ace, I hate to be the one to break it to you but almost all your readership is already inside baseball. Hell, we're on the f****ing field with gloves and bats and sh*t. We've all got those funny stirrup socks and we frankly look like a bunch of jack asses dressed like this given our ages.

But it's always helpful to watch Sullivan. He's the parakeet in the mine shaft of Kerry's campaign.

Sullivan [...] mine shaft

Never, EVER use these words in conjunction with one another again. :)

A gay man that's excitable and hyperbolic? Why who has ever heard of such a thing??

In today's update Sullivan had the colossal stones to link to Daily Kos as a reliable source -- a brilliantly incisive piece wherein we learn the "Dred Scott" gaffe Bush made in the second debate was, in fact, a codeword for pro-life justices.

I sent Sully a missive, letting him know such an action removed him from any pretension to being a credible pundit, and that I sincerely hoped he'd be able to afford that gold plated bandwidth with one less visitor.

I don't think it much matters, though ... his near-total absence and indifference to Rathergate pretty much destroyed whatever relevance he had left.

Every time Ace mentions Sully, all of you start shrieking like prissy fags. I find all of you waaaay too excitable (and gob-smackingly vile, but that goes without saying).
Never read his site, to tell you the truth ;)

Sullivan who now?

I never read him either. Not even if someone links him. I just use context clues.

Andrew Sullivan = "David Brock... For People Who Enjoy Discussing Window Treatments." :)
