Andrew Sullivan: "Let's not get too excitable, shall we?"

Uh-huh.

And let's also not become a single-issue hack who deceives his audience about his politics and his bandwidth costs.

I would guess that maybe Excitable Andy is being "ironical" here, except he seems utterly devoid of a sense of humor. Irony requires a somewhat detached sense of perspective, and you just can't have that when every single thought is unhinged elation or black-mooded depression and "outrage."

From Matthew.

Sullivan is such a cockbite.

Posted by: Christopher Cross on July 1, 2005 04:27 PM

He always struck me as the gay-ee and not the gay-er.

Posted by: Iblis on July 1, 2005 04:33 PM

Scroll down a bit and you see this (commenting upon something to do with torture):

How inspiring to read such clarity. How horrifying that it has come to this.

Indeed.

Keep calm. But give money to the good guys, if you can.

Posted by: someone on July 1, 2005 05:28 PM

Did he mention something about two gay guys getting married?

I think I done just caught the vapors!

Posted by: Sean M. on July 1, 2005 06:14 PM

Lord knows he's not easy to excite.

Posted by: Billy Tibbits on July 1, 2005 07:11 PM

Sullivan anticipating someone else getting excited is much like Pot to Kettle: "You're black!"

Posted by: Mark on July 1, 2005 08:59 PM

Ace, I know I can always count on you (and Reno 911) for a laugh. Love it.

Posted by: Dave Gearhart on July 1, 2005 09:31 PM

Sir,

"Gay marriage" is to Saint Andrew what "I was in Viet Nam you know" is to John Kerry and "Bush/Nazi" is to little Mickey Kos. A pathetic, predictable tag line.

Sincerely,

rcl

Hey, does anyone else remember those decaf coffee ads that ran around 1980 where they had some guy playing golf with the guy who played Marcus Welby M.D., and he misses a putt and says "Aw, nuts" and Marcus Welby says"Jim! Take it easy! It's only a GODDAMNED PUTT, for Christ's sake! What the FUCK is the MATTER with you?" OK, maybe I added some stuff but that's pretty much what the ad was like. I can't think what reminded me of it.

Every time I read his blog I get this vision of the housewife in the Tom and Jerry cartoon up in a chair with her skirt pulled up screaming "A mousssssse, a mousssssse!" until I remember how much tougher she seemed, and remember that she looked normal wearing a skirt.

Posted by: bullwinkle on July 2, 2005 01:48 AM

bullwinkle,
I am sickened and filled with heart-ache by your gob-smackingly vile comment, you disgusting homophobe. And Lord knows, I'm not easily offended.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go walk the beagle.

p.s. Don't forget to hit the tipjar. Bandwidth costs are just crazy.

Posted by: Sean M. on July 2, 2005 04:18 AM

I gave up on Sullivan a while ago. Yet, I read you every day. Perhaps that means something.

Posted by: Bill Dooley on July 2, 2005 05:36 AM

Yikes!
I don't want to hear "excited" and "Sullivan" in the same phrase ever again.
Ewwww!
He appears on the Chris Matthews Show on sunday mornings sometimes. Cute couple. Andy is the girl.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite
