Bitch, Bitch, BitchDoes Andrew Sullivan have anything to offer anymore except shrill partisan whining? Just curious. posted by Ace at 08:16 PM
CommentsOf course he does. Sometimes, it's incoherent shrill partisan whining, mixed in with gratuitous ass-covering. And t-cell updates. Posted by: Patton on October 18, 2004 08:34 PM
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. Posted by: Il Padrino on October 18, 2004 08:34 PM
Bitchy is as Bitchie does ! Posted by: Vote Bush on October 18, 2004 08:49 PM
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. Posted by: Shawn on October 18, 2004 11:39 PM
Does Andrew Sullivan have anything to offer anymore except shrill partisan whining? "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. Posted by: on October 19, 2004 01:43 AM
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...
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 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. Posted by: jb on October 20, 2004 10:41 AM

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED 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. Thanks to Mark1971
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.
Sh0eOnHead discusses the Psychotic Cult of Lindsay
Real quotes: "This case has me feeling like I'm on Law & Order with you guys!" "We literally binge true crime as a hobby, we've been trained for this moment" Worth the watch. If you haven't seen the genuinely upsetting insanity motivating thousands of women, you should watch this just to see how society is crumbling. Ban TikTok, Trump. I don't care if Barron tells you it's popular with the yutes. It is an evil Communist China op and it is driving women insane.
Dolly Parton tells the story of the supposedly real-life Jolene
As Andrew Branca says, can we see this Jolene, finally? Who was this hottie that was a genuine sexual threat to Dolly Parton? I think this is Fake News personally. When a magician claims he learned a trick from a Himalayan wise man, I don't believe him either.

Breaking news: Dolly Parton had a real pair of 38s
Or at least one. She carried it everywhere for protection. This joke brought to you by Benny Hill. And speaking of the British: The Buckingham Palace guard tributed her yesterday
Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.
1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show. She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
