Bitch, Bitch, Bitch

Does Andrew Sullivan have anything to offer anymore except shrill partisan whining?

Just curious.

Of course he does. Sometimes, it's incoherent shrill partisan whining, mixed in with gratuitous ass-covering. And t-cell updates.

He liked "Team America." Other than that, not really.

It's not even the partisanship and endless carping on the administration and intellectually dishonest putdowns of fellow bloggers that really made him irrelevant. Not even linking to Daily Kos did that. IMO it was his being practically AWOL during Rathergate that sealed his fate. Given his resume, his silence on the issue was more deafening than that of the Times.

Bitchy is as Bitchie does !

Ugh! It's astonishing, really, how quickly he has gone from being one of my favorite bloggers to someone I can barely tolerate reading. Seriously, I'm coming close to delinking his site.

And it's not just because he's turning against Bush. If he were to come out and say look, I was wrong, I've had a change of heart based on what I've seen over the past year, I could respect that.

But no. He's gone from (what I consider to be) Bush apologist to shrill, hysterical Kerry partisan seemingly overnight. I'm sorry, but I cannot fuckin' deal.

I was told that not only could I play my radio at a reasonable volume but that one of the other side benefits of your blog was I don't have to read Andy anymore -- you would take that one for the team.

Thanks by the way.

Posted by: capitano on October 18, 2004 09:06 PM

Sullivan! I remember him, used to have a blog. What ever happened to that guy?

Posted by: David [.net] on October 18, 2004 09:22 PM

Yeah, Andrew Sullivan, he's the guy who sold his soul for the chance at a Kerry-signed marriage license, right?

Posted by: JW on October 18, 2004 09:25 PM

Andrew who now?

Posted by: zetetic on October 18, 2004 09:31 PM

Delinked months ago- I guess I don't understand her nuanced thinking.

Posted by: jj shaka on October 18, 2004 10:06 PM

Not sure what Sullivan's middle initial is, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's "S".

BTW Ace, the link to Sullivan is broken. I'd ask you to fix it, but I think it's better this way. Really.

Posted by: John on October 18, 2004 10:07 PM

He gives us all something to mock and make fun of, that's something, isn't it? Jeff at beautifulatrocities.com has certainly been having fun...

Posted by: eric on October 18, 2004 10:27 PM

John, I'm sure that bad link's intentional.

Posted by: Moonbat_One on October 18, 2004 10:45 PM

It's sad, really, to see what was once such an interesting site degenerate; first into the gay marriage bulletin board, and then into foot-stamping anti-Bush hysterics. The site would still be useful if it was an alternate viewpoint. Instead it's from an alternate universe.

"Anymore"...? :)

Posted by: Kent on October 19, 2004 12:19 AM

No.

So why do you bother?

Posted by: Bubba on October 19, 2004 01:20 AM

Sully Translation: "The rest of the Michael Gordon piece makes you want to weep: because of the promise in Iraq that was lost, because of a noble, vital war undermined by the Federal Marriage Act, er, I mean, arrogance and incompetence."

Posted by: Johnny Walker Red on October 19, 2004 01:37 AM

Face it. Sullivan's a Blogasaur. As in: old, passe, trite, predictable, irrelevant.

Harsh? Yeah.

True? Maybe.

Think about it. The blogosphere is extremely young but old enough now to fashion a pespective impossible to consider even two years ago.

Sullivan started his blog early and benefitted from his uniqueness/schtick, i.e., gay conservative (cough).

There's too much competition from too many blogs now.

He's a Blogasaur. His time has passed.

PS. I googled "blogasaur". Five hits. Damn, you, Frank J.

My official "Andrew Sullivan is Irrelevant" Day passed over a year ago: September 2, 2003.

Posted by: The Black Republican on October 19, 2004 02:18 AM

Aw, why'd you even bother bringing him up? I actually bothered to take a look at his site again, and the answer to your question is a resounding "no."

I blame you, Ace, for several minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

Posted by: Sean M. on October 19, 2004 02:28 AM

I'm surprised he hasn't started channeling Daman Wayans' character from 10 years ago...


HATED It!

Posted by: OneDrummer on October 19, 2004 02:30 AM

Just checked Andy's site and was pretty appalled. He's quoting a CBS poll for cripes' sake and calling the obviously friggin' outlier poll result of a 44 percent approval rating bad news for the president.

What a jackass. A stupid, stupid jackass.

Posted by: Slubgob on October 19, 2004 09:22 AM

Andrew who?

Posted by: Larry J on October 19, 2004 09:27 AM

Does Sullivan have anything to offer?

His martyrdom! He is guiltier than any fundamIntalist Christian ever has been at trying to make his zealously religious views on homosexuality public policy. So he offers the sacrifice of his credibility on the altar of political orthodoxy.

Does he still blog?

Posted by: rdbrewer on October 19, 2004 10:44 AM

Heh. I got this error message repeatedly:

CommInt Submission Error
Your commInt submission failed for the following reasons:
Your commInt could not be submitted due to questionable content: mIn
Please correct the error in the form below, then press Post to post your commInt.

Finally I changed the spelling of "fundamIntalist." It posted. I guess the program doesn't approve of "mIn" and "Sullivan" in the same context.

Posted by: rdbrewer on October 19, 2004 10:50 AM

fyi: bad link.

It's a heavily armored (the pilot sits in a titanim bathtub) slow-and-low loitering plane with a massive minigun firing depleted uranium rounds. The capability it brings is the ability to just fly big circles over the country waiting for a target to present itself. This is a weapons platform for eliminating vehicles and personnel. Its first task might be strafing the seas, clearing out any remaining attack boats and minelayers.
Update: My ballpark estimate for a reasonable cost for a wildlife overpass (suitably padded to sate the thirst of Democrat grifters) was $15 million. Turns out, that was a good estimate. That's how much it cost Denver to build one.

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948."
Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
