Does the specific context even matter?
[Andew] Sullivan’s performance, in all its hyperventilating absurdity, is probably best received as an off-site contribution by a former editor to the New Republic‘s ongoing 100th birthday celebrations. Here is the spirit that the magazine embodied through the latter decades of the 20th century: tireless vigilance, in the face of an empowered reactionary movement, against any signs of excess on the left. Every outspoken liberal a Red Guard, every word about racial injustice an incitement to riot, every slope a slippery slope. Except the slope one is standing on.
Excessive misplaced commas aside, I think you get the point.
Loved that Gawker piece – spot on.
Sullivan is freaked out by the HRC, let’s face it – and more broadly in the sheer power of the feminist Internet. Maybe he should be, ‘cos the coming years won’t really be favorable toward his social attitudes on both fronts.
I don’t care anymore what he thinks about anything.
Never did. Does he even have an audience? Or just a name that garners attention from lefties bloggers when he goes on one of his emotional rants laden with bigotry and/or ignorance (no WMD in Iraq just like the informed people said in 2002)?
Another Piers Morgan style outburst, only this time against the uppity gals.
What do Morgan and Sullivan have in common, a desperate search for a way of dealing with their diminishing audience. Time for another career for both of them. I understand that Uber is contracting with drivers.
What do Morgan and Sullivan have in common, …
Besides both being Tory wankers? Is Sully an Arsenal supporter? I feel bad for Johnny Lydon.
Sullivan responds
Never had the slightest interest in Sullivan and didn’t understand why anyone else did.
