Stupid Shit Andrew Sullivan Says

Once Andrew Sullivan had quit the sunlit media uplands to follow the clues left behind among the fossilized remains of Arne Saknussemm and descend into the hollow Earth realm of Substack, I had kinda hoped I would never have to write another "Stupid Shit Andrew Sullivan Says" post again.

After all, a few hundred such exercises spilt into the abyss is enough for one lifetime.

And then another kind of fossil from a different sunless realm, 60 Minutes, decided to stick a camera in his face and ask him about stuff.    Because...Glenn Greenwald was busy?

From what I can glean from this mercifully short clip -- 

-- the new visiting professor of Phrenology at Substack University has Many Opinions about the January 6th Republican insurrection, none of which center on the responsibility of Republicans for the Republican insurrection.

Instead we get the same shit-scented froth of Both Siderist doubletalk that is back to being the number one commodity of the Beltway media.  

"Tribalism" is at fault. 

"People" are at fault".  

"This country" is at fault.  

"We" are at fault.  

But apparently not the one, specific political party that planned and executed and damn near succeeded in their attempt to violently overthrow of government of the United States, and have done everything in their power to continue escalating the danger every since.  

Of course, who knows?  Maybe before and after this clip, Mr. Sullivan was the soul of sober, clear-eyed judgement.  But I'm not betting the beer money on it.

500 quatloos Sully endorses Trump in '24, because he will have convinced himself that the MSM and CRT and wokeness and the ooga-booga people at the border are bigger threats to Western Civilization than the Cheeto-skinned fascist.

In more unbelievable news, I was just over at Daily Kos and people are bemoaning the fact that Brian Williams is leaving MSNBC. Aargh! Lots of work to do!

Don't you think every Conservative/ Republican's/ NAZI/ KKK/ Right wing web site/ TV network and Radio show should all begin and end with the marvelous opinions of Andrew?

The Proud boys starting their violent ranting day by reading and meditating on one of the many Andrew wisdoms of the right.
praise the Reagan or at present the orange MAGA Majesty. For tomorrow may bring the (self) righteous one of Paul Gosar to bow and yield loyal servitude.
For their freedom depends on there newest Idol to worship.

It sure does take a big, thick, skull to be "Professor of Phrenology at Substack University", that's for sure. It must be a couple of inches thick by now.
