Andrew Sullivan: A Huge, Stinking Pile of Course Not

Filed under: 2008 Election,Buffoons,General — Patterico @ 3:09 pm



Andrew Sullivan is full of course not.

The link goes to Dan Riehl — not because of some fastidiousness about linking Sullivan, but because Sullivan has removed his idiot post. In the post that Sullivan has taken down, Power Glutes claimed that McCain had “clearly” said “horseshit” . . . when (as Sullivan now acknowledges) McCain actually said “Course not.” If you want to read Sullivan’s original language, which he has now taken down like a coward, you have to read Riehl.

My God, this guy does nothing but write course not.

Clearly.

  1. Are you calling him a pile of ‘coarse snot’?

  2. Sully is a steaming pile of horseshit.

  3. Allahpundit at Hot Air heard it the same way as Sullivan before both were corrected by Riehl.

  4. Allahpundit didn’t say McCain was “clearly” saying that.

    Sullivan did — though he’s now trying to cover it up.

  5. Completely OT, but I have to admit to enjoying watching the Cowgirls lose.

  6. Had to laugh at a comment at Dan Riehl’s about this, something like:

    Just wait until Sullivan tells us what he heard when he played the tape backwards!

  7. Out of curiousity, has anyone ever seen a picture of Andrew Sullivan’s mother?

  8. I dunno. I can’t imagine he actually said “horse shit,” but “horse shit” does make more sense than “course not” in this context:

    Obama: I just have to make this general point that the Bush Administration, some of Senator McCain’s own advisers all think this is important, and Senator McCain appears resistant. He even said the other day that he would not meet potentially with the Prime Minister of Spain because he wasn’t sure whether they were aligned with us. I mean Spain!

    McCain: [Horse shit. / Course not / ???]

    Spain is a NATO ally!

    [Horse shit. / Course not. / ???]

    I mean, if we can’t meet with our friends I don’t know how we’re going to lead the world in terms of dealing with critical issues like terrorism.

    In this context, what would “course not” mean? Of course I’m not sure if we’re aligned with Spain or not? Of course Spain isn’t a NATO ally? On the other hand, “horse shit” does seem like a pretty reasonable, albeit impolitic response to the whole bit about Spain. A better response would be you have your gaffes and I have mine, at least I don’t turn my gaffes into policy positions just to avoid having to admit that they were gaffes.

  9. Men and their deaf ears. He said “course not” as plain as day.

  10. It was Sully’s “husband” that had to correct him…Oh, how sweet…Maybe his “husband” had to pull his head out of his rectum or something…

  11. Its impolite to ridicule the mentally handicapped.

  12. Actually, this is Andrea’s* normal procedure–take down the original post and put up a new post giving the correct version, and noting where the original post was wrong. I don’t see anything cowardly about it. And it’s actually a more honest procedure than most politicians ever follow.

    *Andrea because if someone has a husband, then obviously they are a wife.

    kishnevi (1afea2)

  13. I just replayed it with the sound cranked — McCain clearly says “Lying commie cocksucker”. I don’t know about what y’all are hearing.

    Icy Truth (74c635)

  14. Andrew and Andrea are both perfectly good and serviceable names. Had I either (yeah, I’m a guy, and so is Andrea Boticelli) I would be proud to wear them.

    AS does not deserve either. Call him Andi. Or Glutes. Or Melamine Loads. Whatever.

    Gregory (f7735e)

  15. Why your ongoing obsession with Sullivan? Perhaps jealous that he is nationally known while your blog is obscure?

  16. 15 I think our proprietor is merely pointing out the intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy of Andrea Sullivan. It seems all he really cares about is gay marriage. I don’t know why because I doubt he is capable of being loyal to one man, perferring to maximize the number of rectums he can penetrate with his power glutes. I would not be surprised that sully fantasizes about donating repeated awesome loads of his jam to Obama. That might sound sick, but the assclown has internet ads seeking the same. And rumors have Obama doing ungodly and perverse acts in the confines of the Wright Church. If Sully can be blogging about the mysteries of Palin and daughter’s vaginas, what is wrong with questioning his own motives and disgusting preferences.

    btw, I don’t think PP is that obscure. Maybe others get more traffic, but Patrick Frey does a yeoman’s job exposing much of what the LA Times ignores or obfuscates or just plain lies about outrageously. What’s your reason for being here? Obama Truth Squad against free speech for those opposing your idol Obama, the Evil Chicago Machine Liar, whose head is stuck up Richard Daley’s ass? ps- do you also desire the lust of Sully?

  17. I think Mr. Sullivans reached that point where he has more HIV circulating than Brain Cells.

  18. You have a charmingly vitriolic bunch of commenters here. Remind me to clean the bile off my shoes on my way out.
