Maybe if Sullivan ever stopped trying to investigate Trig Palin’s matrilineal line, he could come to terms with the realization that Eric Massa is, in fact, a Democrat.
At the very least, his post is ambiguous on whether Sullivan is, in fact, aware of Massa’s party identification.

It occurs to me that given his reply to Leon Wieseltier, in which Andrew Sullivan accused Wieseltier of not coming out and saying definitively whether he believes that Sullivan is an anti-Semite, a similar critique may be made of me, given that I passed over the question myself, and instead posed questions to Sullivan that weren’t quite answered (whether that is because Sullivan did not see my post, or did see the post and decided not to answer the questions, I cannot say).

Today, the regime in Iran marked its 31st anniversary; both with pro-regime demonstrations and speeches, and with efforts to shut down reformist protests.

Speaking of Andrew Sullivan, he has posted a long reply to Leon Wieseltier, whose article I linked to.

Readers of this blog will know that I am no fan of Sarah Palin’s. I don’t think that she is a bad person, and I am sure that if I met her, I would find her charming; her emotional intelligence and her ability to win over observers is quite impressive.

Accusations of anti-Semitism are serious things, so I am not going to make them. But after reading this piece by Leon Wieseltier on Andrew Sullivan, I have some questions which I would love to see the Inspector Javert of Trig Palin’s matrilineal line answer.

Apparently, the Green movement so threatens the Iranian regime, that the national colors have become red, white, and blue. The Green movement has therefore succeeded where six successive American Administrations have failed; it has driven Iran into the arms of the United States.

The most famous blogger ever to be obsessed with the matrilineal line of Trig Palin recently put to pixel an “I want to apologize for something, and in doing so, convince you that I am awesomely awesome” post that will either make readers laugh out loud, or gape in shock at Sullivan’s self-regard and narcissism.

Apparently, Andrew Sullivan had to be told to ease up on the Bush-is-a-crazy warmonger meme by . . . Mother Jones.
