Chilling quote from Andrew Sullivan

<snip>

But for the past few months, Bush has blamed the commanders and generals and troops for any and all military miscalculations in the war. If we don't hold him responsible next Tuesday, will we ever have another chance?

6. Well, that nails down the barebacking, tea-swilling, single issue vote
Despite his endorsement, Sullivan can still go fuck himself

9. Uh, Sullivan's stock-in-trade has been as a "professional homosexual"...
who shills for the republicans.
It WAS revealed that he was soliciting UNPROTECTED sex on a message board
He IS a native of Great Britain
What in the hell is bigoted about the truth?

Now, it WOULD be bigoted if I refered to him as a "Limey c---------"

7. I'm afraid I don't have much respect for Sully
He didn't step away from backing Shrub until his own self-interest was at stake -- namely, Shrub's support of the "Let's Enshrine Discrimination Against Gays in the Consitution" amendment.

Mind you, I speak as a woman in a same-sex marriage, so I feel I have a right to make this particular observation about Mr. Sullivan.

I'm not saying I reject his final "coming to the light". But Sullivan was as jingoistic a war-banger as any before the bombs started to fall and even for a long time after. Thus, I tend not to trust his conversion. He's as likely to turn on us the minute Kerry gets elected.

Or, to put this in other words -- A dog that bites keep on biting, even if the last guy he bit was somebody you didn't like. Know what I mean?
