[...] We’ve seen him use that logic before. There’s literally no degree of conspiratorial craziness that Sullivan will not excuse — or indulge in himself — so long as it’s presented in terms of skepticism towards Bush. Ace accuses him of engaging in de facto 9/11 Trutherism, which sounds unfair until you realize how well it fits the pattern. If you really pressed him, I’m sure Sully would dismiss Dylan Avery as a kook — while also noting, with exquisite sadness, that he can understand how people would think Bush capable of such a thing.

The Sully Jones Conspiracy…

Here’s a great post on the increasingly unhinged American left (and some who used to be considered “right”), at Shrinkwrapped: Clans of the Alphane Moon.

Allah, I respect you very much and I will take your advice. It was never meant as disrespect to Sullivan and I’m sorry it came out that way.

Jones is a nut, but I think Sully’s emailer is wrong about him blaming the Joooz for 9-11. Jones always couches it as the New World Order, and while that may be a dodge, it gets him a lot of criticism from those who want to blame it on the Zionists. Of course, one of the hilarious things about watching all these conspiracy nutbars is that almost all of them hate everybody else.

So not only will I not use it, I’ll explicitly condemn it in the high-minded, above-the-fray spirit…

I refer to this as the (Dave) Barry Maneuver. Another example: “I am absolutely, positivity NOT suggesting you put a Barbie doll in a toaster just to see what happens to her hair.”

I Hate Linking The HuffPo, But……

Greg Gutfeld posts there. I actually wanted to link him, but then just decided to link his own blog, because I’d rather not send blog money to Arianna’s botox doctor. Did I say botox doctor? I meant “blog.” I apologize;……

I believe Sullivan’s blog was the very first blog I read on a regular basis (despite the fact that I hate gay people). I think I even donated once during one of his fundraisers. But I just can’t stand him lately because almost everything he writes seems to be based on some huge chip on his shoulder. I still scan it on occasion (same as left-wing blogs which his style seems to imitate), but I tune out anytime I see that wacky “Christianist” word.

I haven’t been around long enough to understand most of this ‘blog-dogging’, but you guys seem to be into it. While I cant make heads nor tails of some of it, I’ll just have to wait for something more pertinent…. BUT, I did like your analogy, too bad you cant use it. GiGi does seem to have more names than Dikembe Mutumbo, and recent history shows he will most likely blame our VP on anything he cant blame on the ‘Malkin side’ or the Prez.

Please. Don’t smear the guy with such nonsense. Just because you disagree with him doesn’t mean he’s demented. And anyone who’s read him regularly the past four years knows that it’s the same guy now as then.

Sullivan’s actions over the past few years indicate to me a very physically sick man. This is not meant as a personal attack but we all know he suffers from one of the worst diseases of the human race and it was only a matter of time before it manifested mentally. This may be why he is continuing to devolve from someone we used to admire to someone who is little above drooling all over himself.

Do we even know if he is even writing his own blog or if someone else is under his name. His writing and thinking indicate someone else is using him as a sockpuppet.
