I know people don't like this point of view, but Sullivan is me when I am a pothead. Everything I say or do is excellent, I know I need to do it on a grand scale and even be a career stoner, because I am always right, like lime green shoes on a 64 year old guy. For him this is a lifestyle. I dunno, whenever I read him, beginning at his first premise, I am scratching my head, "what?" And then the other part is that he's evil. joejimtreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149228373559683897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-85671598056043139372017-02-13T16:12:43.430-06:002017-02-13T16:12:43.430-06:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LJqcPYr8ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LJqcPYr8oDark Avengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220642215040873632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-8868280360120751342014-04-06T18:47:13.152-05:002014-04-06T18:47:13.152-05:00walt skrev:

My...Kudos to Walt and his analysis of Mr. Sullivan. My only point of disagreement is with your assertion regarding the corrupting effect of his "pursuit of celebrity". He is by nature - as evidenced by his personal/political and printed word history - a corrupt person and his pursuit of celebrity is a symptom of that corruption rather than a cause.drbopperthphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065040490038194712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-39142391580311094362014-04-06T10:27:12.481-05:002014-04-06T10:27:12.481-05:00I don't mind a blogger being a bit of blowhard...I don't mind a blogger being a bit of blowhard, and indeed I think it can make him or her readable even if you disagree the opinion. But there's a duality to the Sullivan persona which drives me crazy anyway. Half the time, it seems, he handing out awards for over-the-top punditry he dislikes, be it from Michelle Malkin or Nicholas von Hoffman. And then there's this guy who tags half of America as treasonous for living on the coasts. There's the guy who waxes philosophical about conservatives like Oakeshott, and then plays the transgressive queer celebrating bear sexuality. Except, when you get down to it, he's usually less transgressive than simply being friends to assholes like Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Jeane Kirkpatrick, George Bush, Charles Murray, Camille Paglia, and Betsy McCaughey. <br /><br />I'll confess I really dislike Sullivan not because he's a success at this blogging racket but because he's so fucking smug about himself and his precious religious feelings, and his deeply abiding faith in society (never noticing how Thatcher used to mock the very idea). He's a genius whose real subject is himself, which leads to chronic self-delusion. How can anyone as narcissistic as Sullivan be trusted? He can't. He's too busy posting selfies of himself as this wonderfully heterodox thinker to realize how miserably corrupted he is by his pursuit of celebrity.walthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221959390644542667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-81782283473242002992014-04-05T18:40:36.540-05:002014-04-05T18:40:36.540-05:00"Mr. Sullivan makes friends wherever he goes...."Mr. Sullivan makes friends wherever he goes."<br /><br />She is fierce!

B...Sullivan's always been a contemptible dick.<br /><br />Back in 2000, early on in his blog career, I used to exchange reasonably polite e-mails with him, since at that point I still labored under the misapprehension that he was merely misguided, not fundamentally dishonest. That all changed rather quickly, after the election, and his bizarre take on it. Finally, I said "I'm going to give you the honest Republican test. If Gore and Bush's situation in Florida had been exactly reversed, do you think the Supreme Court would have made the same decision.?" To which he replied "Probably not, but they did the right thing anyway because Gore doesn't deserve to be present." Swear to god, he actually said that.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-21435905150897570252014-04-05T15:55:31.800-05:002014-04-05T15:55:31.800-05:00Both sides bitches!!

Sullivan and his ilk are morons with no value to anyone and must never, ever, be given the slightest deference. The only time he's correct is when he's in the back of the line behind all the other people who beat him to it.steevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12620735494191381865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-29478043133114308932014-04-05T11:12:48.295-05:002014-04-05T11:12:48.295-05:00I'm not exactly surprised that Sully would def...I'm not exactly surprised that Sully would defend a fan of Pat Buchanan, given his own support for Charles "Bell Curve" Murray.
