THE COMPANY YOU KEEP
This Is You, Andy

No new insights here, just astonishment.

At Andrew Sullivan’s web site today you will find fawning, obsequious, and toadying commentary in praise of such contemptible poseurs and assorted fringistas* as Mike Kelly, Mark Steyn, Howard Kurtz, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.), and the Jewish World Review, along with an all-too-courteous critique of David Frum.

Amazing.

By the way, when did Sullivan decide it was in his interest to link to other mere bloggers? Was it, perhaps, when his standing in the various measures of bloggers’ popularity started dipping?

Hate to get super-cynical, but is Sullivan no longer a Catholic because the media, with an assist from a Catholic blogger or two, or more, is now aware that he doesn’t know half as much about Catholicism as they thought he did?

Forgive me if I don’t know who “Galloway” is.

And is there any more awful a Sullivanism than “let’s unpack this”?
