On the Sarah Palin Pregnancy smear

I think it is time for you to seriously look at the role that Andrew Sullivan played in this - which was major - and consider never linking to him again.

I think the Atlantic should be called to account and Sullivan should spend the rest of his writing career as a Kos diarist, the place where he fits the best.

Hear, hear. I made a similar point last night but less articulately, in a fit of rage over this ugly smear. Rod deleted it. Whatever.

But I do think Rod ought to step back and consider what Sully has become and where he is in the blogosphere ecology--a steroid-juiced creep simultaneously "married" and advertising for bareback gay sex, spewing bile about "Christianists", who, before he got the Atlantic (and before that Time) to cut him checks, was annually panhandling his readers to pay for his Provincetown vacations (ostensibly for his server space, which turned out to cost pennies for the dollars he was demanding as the 'cost' of his blog).

He's a vile toad. Don't link to him ever again, Rod. You cheapen yourself with every link or H/T to him.
