ANDREW SULLIVAN — STILL AN ASSHOLE
“The thing about people who never remember, never take responsibility, and never accept accountability is that they can make the exact same arguments that were shown to be deeply misguided only a few years ago – without even a flicker of recognition.”
As Drifty rightly observes: “For the second time in three days, I am rendered temporarily speechless by the sheer magnitude of yet another professional Conservative public intellectual’s capacity for unfettered narcissism and self-delusion.”
Andrew Sullivan is the perfect example of someone who has been wrong about pretty much every fucking thing he’s opined upon since he hit the national stage. And yet, he’s never paid a price for his abject wrongness nor has he really ever held himself accountable.
He’s still writing drivel and he’s still on my tee vee machine and he’s still being paid to be a public intellectual.
However, when I say “accountable” what I mean by that is not that he should be forced to give up his sinecure from which he spouts his totally fucked in the head, worthless opinions — Oh no!
I mean he should fucking kill himself via ritual suicide. Preferably public immolation a la the method employed by Buddhist monks during the Vietnam era.
I’d gladly supply the Jerry can of gasoline.
Sully has flogged a conservatism that has been the root cause of the economic failure of this nation.
He has aided and abetted America’s domestic enemies by unhesitatingly and quite happily signing onto that pile of reeking, fetid dog shit of American politics known as conservatism and that he gladly fluffed until it became obvious even to Sully that the house he had helped to construct was populated by nothing more than a bunch of drooling imbeciles and madmen.
He relentlessly flogged and helped to give cover to a lawless administration intent upon inflicting a war upon a nation that did nothing to harm us. A war that killed hundreds of thousands in Iraq and made literally millions homeless.
All this while saying that anyone here in America {like me} who opposed that war was either a fifth columnist or a traitor.
And yet, after all that, he slithers back onto the pages of The Daily Beast and writes the breathtakingly unselfaware paragraph quoted above.
But what do you expect?
Because he’s Andrew Sullivan.
And he’s still an asshole.

The thing about Andrew Sullivan is that he thinks he is a deeper thinker than Tucker Carlson.

That’s your greatest weakness Scott. You are so hard to read. You are too subtle and introverted.
What do you REALLY think about Mr. Sullivan?

Scott, can’t a guy have some pity on a Gay man who bears too much resemblance to Elmer Fudd?
Where I disagree is “the house he had helped to construct was populated by nothing more than a bunch of drooling imbeciles and madmen”, since I think some cleverly evil people live there too.

Shame on you, Smith, sir.
You go for the instant gratification response. Any thought-out member of the human race would go for the ‘Green’ option. Use a solar-powered electric chair. It saves on CO2 emissions and … oh… it takes longer.
(You always were a pussy)
