The One You Envision, The One I Have Heard
Andrew Sullivan is a famous pundit because he is very good at analyzing political figures and he always makes lots and lots of sense. For instance. John McCain gives a speech and says nice things. Andrew Sullivan nods sagely and says:
We should not dismiss the McCain candidacy.
And why not?
I am waiting to see how the candidates respond to shifting and currently impenetrable events in Iraq. There are no good options. To my mind, the criterion must be who can most prudently and effectively get us out of there as swiftly as possible.
I bet it never would have even occurred to you that John McCain might just be the candidate who is going to get us out of Iraq "swiftly." You clearly lack Andrew Sullivan's amazing insight. This is exactly why you'll never be invited onto Bill Maher to fondle your ass on national television.
Andrew Sullivan's objective anti-fascism means Juan McCain is the only candidate he can support.
objectively.

Most of us gays, unlike Mr. Sullivan, do not chose which politicians to support on the basis for our crushes. Sullivan, still upset from his breakup with GWB, is picked up on the rebound by the next pretty Republican face that comes along . . .

If, by pretty, you mean "Face eaten away by his deep immersion in the Dark Side." Seriously, he's starting to take on that Cheney look. How did the bunny put it in "Donnie Darko?" Ah yes: "Stupid man-suit."

I won't go on Bill Maher unless he supplies "people" to fondle my ass.

See, John McCain WANTS us to get out of Iraq, in much the same way that the CEO of your average conglomerate WANTS to take a pay cut and instead pay their workers a decent wage but sadly, at this time, it's just not feasible. Try again in an FU or two.

"Andrew Sullivan's amazing insight"
That would be the view provided by having your head so far up your ass you can lick your tonsils. Great Flying Spaghetti Monster, please make them all go away. Far away. Soon.

I believe the correct term for Andrew Sullivan's viewpoint is anti-factism.

What, 100 years isn't swiftly enough for you? DFH.

John McCain's just taking the European view on all of this. Remember, kids, in Europe, 100 kilometres is a long way, but in North America, 100 years is a long time. So, by that logic, since Iraq is very, very far away, then if the US gets its troops out in 100 years, that will mean they've left "as swiftly as possible." See?

He might be right, you know...

But I wouldn't bet on it.

Well now, in order to fondle my ass I would have to be able to find it with my own two hands and some days this is a challenge.
