#2 Andrew Sullivan is busy excusing it. Boy he really sold out, didn't he.

#3 Senator Horseface is indeed a very small man indeed. I hope somehow tha this wakes some people up about this election. This coupled with the Tennesse picture have cemented in my mind why this man is Unfit for CIC.

#4 Sullivan's not worth reading anymore. He's about as calm and steady as a chihuahua

#7 i thought sully was persuasive on this one. I have more trouble with how nervous he is on Iraq - not that the things he says are wrong, but id like to see more from him on the battles in Samarra, Babil province, and Ramadi, in addition to the Baghdad bombings.

#9 look everybodys entitled to his obsessions. If and when i do my own blog theyll be alot more on religious pluralism in Israel than any of you will be able to stand ;) That said, i find his discussions of gay issues at least more interesting than most. And his overall stance on foreign policy is VERY good, and one of the closest to my own out there. Even if Im not quite as nervous on Iraq.

If anything the area i disagree with him most on his economics, where hes a lot more conservative than I am. Which, paradoxically, makes him more upset with CERTAIN ASPECTS of Bush policy than I am.

#10 I'm sick of homophobes and homos, pomo homos, homo hoboes. Fine, marry, live in peace, cut your lawn, be good neighbors, observe the law. But I really don't want to hear about it anymore.

I can understand why Sully's lost all perspective-- if I had a terminal illness I'd be inclined to let it all out, all day, with no effort at ordering and judging the various outrages du jour. But the fact remains that winning the war is vastly more important than Abu Ghraib, the deficit, gay marriage, and all the other issues combined. Focus. Prioritize. Order and judge.

#11 Oh, and how about a little steadfastness? You know, sticking it out?

The deeper problem I have with Sullivan is that he manifestly lacks those martial virtues that make all the difference in the long run: patience, calm determination, an unwillingness to be distracted by one's own discomfort, the constant effort to separate noise from true signals. Grace under pressure and all that.

If anything, this deeply ingrained martial outlook, these soldierly virtues, are what distinguishes the red from the blue these days. No wonder I'm so much more comfortable with military people than with my own kind, or what I used to think were my kind....

#12 Hey it should have never been mentioned.
That said all I want to know is can I watch?

#13 LH,

id like to see more from [Sullivan] on the battles in Samarra, Babil province, and Ramadi, in addition to the Baghdad bombings

The opposite for me. In fact one of the reasons to visit Rantburg, or strategypage.com or command-post.org or belmontclub, is that these folks unlike Sully can actually distinguish between noise and signals, feints and real strikes, scratches and body blows. Sullivan is the last person I would want to hear discursing about the twists and turns of a war. He's far too elated when things go well and far too disconsolate when they hit a snag.

#14 I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for Kerry to finish the statement, for extra effect..."Yes, she's a lesbian, she even does '69'..."! His statement was below the belt!
