On the Origins of Andrew Sullivan’s PDS

Gay Patriot (Free subscription) | 11/24/2009

Sometime late last summer shortly after John McCain announced he had tapped Sarah Palin as his running mate, a reader e-mailed me a comment from Andrew Sullivan where that former conservative had kind things to say about the then-Alaska Governor. ”Even Sullivan likes her!” ran the e-mail.* Soon thereafter not only would he drink the Democratic [...]

Andrew Sullivan decides "enough is enough"!

The Immoral Minority (Free subscription) | 11/23/2009

Andrew Sullivan has decided now that Sarah's book is out, and we have versions of events from her own ghostwriter's mouth, it is time to take the Trig pregnancy story mainstream. But knowing full well that the American press is too timid to touch the story he goes to the UK. Really? The British press has more balls than the American press? I am ashamed. Take one story that every mother will relate...

Dave Noon's Not a Historian, But He Did Get Linked by Andrew Sullivan Last Night

American Power (Free subscription) | 11/23/2009

Dave's Noon's so completely whacked that I was simply going to ignore his latest effort to salvage any netroots relevance he may have once enjoyed. He's failing miserably in his attempt, naturally, which is too bad, since he proved long ago his total epic academic fail as a historian (see, " David Hoogland Noon, Abominable Academic Wretch "). It turns out that Professor Noon took issue with...

Andrew Sullivan: Why Cheney is afraid to close Gitmo

The Political Carnival (Free subscription) | 11/22/2009

By GottaLaff Via Greg Sargent , a great excerpt from Sully: [H]ere’s Andrew Sullivan on why the Cheney clan is waging a death struggle against transfering Gitmo detainees to U.S. soil : What Cheney fears, I suspect, is that Gitmo will be shut down, that history will record it as the lowest point in US human rights ever, that the Cheney family will be tarred as the brand that destroyed America’s...

Ann Althouse on Andrew Sullivan's Campaign to Destroy Sarah Palin

American Power (Free subscription) | 11/21/2009

From Ann Althouse, "" Andrew Sullivan Has Discovered the Michelle Goldberg/Ann Althouse Diavlog ." Ann rebuts one of the "lies" of Sarah Palin, alleged by Sullivan: Calling something like this a lie marks you as someone who's centered not on finding out what is true, but on destroying someone. It doesn't motivate me to go through the rest of the long list systematically to...

Andrew Sullivan's Palin-Induced Psychosis

American Power (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009

Michelle Malkin hammered Andrew Sullivan today with her piece, " It's Official: Atlantic Magazine Blogger Suffers Palin-Induced Psychosis ." And frankly, I'm not sure if "psychosis" is a strong enough term, even though it means to be completely out of touch with any semblance of reality. That's my impression of the guy after reading Sullivan's long screed attacking Sarah Palin with...

Andrew Sullivan’s blog NOT “going silent” as promised

Sister Toldjah (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

Damn. I should have known that this was too good to be true. Jules Crittenden sums up: With its feverishness, weird syntax and promise to be “up half the night” obsessing, this is a masterful depiction of a mental breakdown in progress. I am really starting to develop a deep appreciation for what Andrew Sullivan does. [...]

Andrew Sullivan: The Randall Terry of Anti-Palinism . . . -- By: Mike Potemra

The Corner (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

. . . or the Inspector Javert? According to this CNN poll , only 28 percent of Americans believe Sarah Palin is qualified to be president. For a person as well known to the public as Palin, that is an appallingly low number. For someone who is already so firmly fixed in the national consciousness - more: who has already reached a stratospheric level of celebrity -- where is the room for growth in...

The Decline and Fall of Andrew Sullivan

Power Line (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

I'm currently finishing the last volume of Anthony Powell's Dance to the Music of Time . One of the book's themes is the decline and fall of Kenneth Widmerpool, a friend (sort of) of the narrator who is introduced in the first pages of the first volume, some forty years before the series' end. It occurs to me that there are several parallels between the collapse of Kenneth Widmerpool and that of Andrew...

A word of advice for Andrew Sullivan on “going silent”

Sister Toldjah (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

Oh dear, dear, dear, dear. The release of Sarah Palin’s book Going Rogue has compelled her virtual stalker Andrew Sullivan – a favorite columnist, I should note, of the WH’s – to have his blog “go silent” for only the second time in ten years (via Villainous Company): This is only the second time [...]

I got your latest poseur alert, right here. Here is Matt Continetti, who apparently drew the short straw at the Weekly Standard and was given the job of rehabilitating Sarah Palin’s image, writing in the WaPo. This is a gem: Like a lot of people, as soon as I got my copy of Sarah [...]

Palin Considered Libel Suit Against Andrew Sullivan

PoliGazette (Free subscription) | 11/15/2009

Earlier this year, Sarah Palin considered filing suit against Andrew Sullivan for libel.

In light of Sarah's recent Wisconsin speech Andrew Sullivan revisits the Trig pregnancy story.

The Immoral Minority (Free subscription) | 11/09/2009

It looks like Sullivan was just as surprised as I was that Sarah added some new contradictory detail in this most recent speech. In this one paragraph Sullivan pinpoints just why Trig is so vitally important to Palin's conservative political clout. In the Friday Wisconsin speech, we were reminded again of how central the Trig pregnancy remains to the Palin phenomenon. McCain, in the three minutes he...

Andrew Sullivan, American Conservative

Balloon Juice (Free subscription) | 11/09/2009

Mr. Sullivan decries the falling standards of modern Catholicism: In Onaiyekan, you have a classic Benedict/JP II Archbishop: dumb as a post, sheltered from the actual debate in the West, incapable of argument, and pathetic as a spokesman. The problem with the theoconservative take-over in the Catholic priesthood is not so much its extremism as its [...]
