If you somehow misssed Andrew Sullivan yucking it up with Megyn Kelly one her "Pleeeease re-hire me Fox News! I'll be good this time I swear!" podcast...
WILLIAMS: Our next guest is out with a new book that is sure to ruffle some feathers. But that`s something he`s quite used to, the New York Times offers this headline for its book review. "Andrew Sullivan, no one`s ally, tells it as he sees it." As Sullivan writes himself, "I have been criticized for abandoning the right and for criticizing the left. I have also been assailed as a defender of the right and hater of the left just to keep things fair."
WILLIAMS: For more we welcome back the author and columnist and dare I say the public intellectual, Andrew Sullivan, his new book, out on a limb selected writing 1989 to 2021 is out tomorrow, readers can expect a tour of our times, a tour of Andrew`s mind, his life, his health, his unique view of what ails us all. He also writes a column the weekly dish available on Substack and hosts his own podcast called the Dishcast. It is always a great pleasure to have you on the broadcast...
WILLIAMS: I know you have seen the comments from James Carville speaking of infections on things like woke ism, especially in the Democratic Party, and especially on the left, it makes it so hard to feel like you`re living a proper life. It makes it so hard to feel like you`re saying the right thing...
...you could have risen early today to see Joe Scarborough fawning over Andrew Sullivan this morning...

...where I learned all sorts of exciting stuff.
For example, Conservatism used to be so fucking humble and awesome!
And St. Ronald Reagan may have been the greatest human being ever to walk the Earth!
And Both Sides got the Iraq War wrong!
So many things!
Now that I know that by pasting together a bunch of old blog posts one can not only score a lucrative book contract but that that contract also comes with a massive, multimedia publicity push, I'll get to work on one right away.
Working title: Bang The Dumb Slowly.

Interesting how all these yahoos miss the element of self parody in what they do.
Should the right woke protect their freedom by banning this Critical Conservative Theory form being taught by Charlie Kirk to his young vulnerable Youth he collects from schools like a pedophile at church choir practice?
Waiting for the rerun of the Kelly's , Santa is white" episode.
David Duke says the oldies are the goodies.
"I have been criticized for abandoning the right and for criticizing the left. I have also been assailed as a defender of the right and hater of the left just to keep things fair."
Fair? Seems pretty foul to me. Why would anyone bother to accuse you of anything other than being a grifter and a very poor writer?
So go ahead and tack those two onto your list in your next big media sitdown interview. You have my permission.

I flipped past Morning Joke Wednesday morning & there he was! And yes, he was bemoaning all the failures of Republican governance of the past 25 years in the passive voice, of course (dunno how the hell they happened!). He then demanded accountability of the conservative intelligentsia.
Either my TV exploded from irony overload or I passed out laughing, I'm not sure.
Hust one point about Libertarianism.
How can you share or imposes or influence your opinion of the way you think things should be and work?
When the basic roots of your libertarian beliefs do not allow for the social context to provide a libertarian with such a forum to speak and opine to others.
Libertarianism to me is a sly form of dictatorship. Because in their minds. Only libertarians can make the decisions in the final end and which libertarian is going to have the most authoritarian last word?
"speaking of infections on things like woke ism, especially in the Democratic Party, and especially on the left,"
Sideshow Bob: Your children are no more... than a pair of ill-bred trouble makers.
Homer: Lisa too?
Sideshow Bob: Especially Lisa!... But especially Bart.
I will pre-order "Bang the Dumb Slowly." I hope you're not kidding.
