Is it from "Andrew Sullivan"...

...or "Spy Magazine's Digital Archives from the same year 'Empty Nest' premiered on network teevee"?

The right is paying a high cost for its unholy marriage to Limbaugh-style rhetoric.
It just hasn't fully realized it yet.
Time's up, and if you guessed "Spy Magazine Archives", sorry, but it is in fact another in a long line
...of very, very late night catechisms from the darting pen of Mr. Sullivan.
Mr. Sullivan posts many cool videos and many opinions with which I agree -- with which, in fact, I agreed long, long, looooooooooong before Mr. Sullivan reluctantly abandoned the fiery wreck of his own failed ideology and jumped resentfully onto my bandwagon. But woven deeply into virtually every one of his critiques of the "Christianists" and Palinites whom he feels have polluted His Awesome Movement to the point where he had to leave, you will find a massive dose of exactly the same brand of poison he slams them for pushing: that sweet, fatal narcotic of revisionism and forgetfulness.
