Dear Andrew Sullivan

Posted on | April 21, 2010 | 39 Comments

You don’t have a uterus. That’s not your fault, but it’s not Sarah Palin’s fault either, and it’s long past time for you to stop obsessing about the governor’s uterus.

“Legitimate questions of fact! Relevant questions!”

You’re sick, Andrew. Get help.

    They make a hormone patch for menopausal women perhaps they could put together some kind of hormone balancing aid for Mr Sullivan?

    When you read what he writes, I imagine him suffering hot flashes. Really his rants are much ado about nothing. Is he stuck – obsessed he needs a new target ah hmmm a new pony to ride. Surely there is someone else’s ovaries he is jealous of somewhere out there in the public eye?

    Yet you still link to The Atlantic for Megan McArdle work.

    Isn’t The Atlantic’s credibility stretched to the limit with this? I mean it’s a line of molecules strung together at this point.

    OMG! Is that article for real, or is it a fake Andrew Sullivan? Is he really THAT hysterical? (wait, don’t answer that)

    “when proving her case would have been as easy as a simple fax of a readily available extract from what must have been voluminous medical records. But not even the McCain campaign asked for such evidence. And the press utterly bailed.”

    You know why the press bailed, Andy? Because you were the only rabid lunatic who thought such an absurd thing. Sheesh.

    Good God in Heaven. The very title shows the obsession here:

    “The Filter That Protects Palin From Scrutiny”

    So, there’s a grand conspiracy about to have this filter something more robust than just a pair of panties? Or that it needs to be so for all the prying peeping toms out there?

    Sullivan was driven around the bend on the gay marriage issue. As repulsive as he is I can’t really hate him or take him too seriously, unlike the sinister apparatchik and stooge of Chinese Communists James Fallows.

    “I’ll piss ’em all off. I’ll write total derogatory crap about Palin and they’ll blow a gasket” – Andrew Sullivan’s game plan.

    He knows he’s riding a dead horse, so he’s whipping it so as not to finish last.

    Did I just say Andrew was “whipping it”??

    But Andrew Sullivan is a fellow conservative. I know he’s a conservative because he says he’s a conservative.

    It’s true he’s for same-sex marriage, and amnesty for illegal aliens, and Obamacare. But he was all for nuking Iraq on the mere suspicion it was behind the anthrax letters, so he must be a real he-man, testosterone-positive conservative!

    It’s funny how predictable Sullivan is: Every time Obama does something to piss off the gay community (i.e. the recent DADT spat), he has to go take it out on Palin. He’s like the dad who gets dumped on by his boss at work, and then goes out and kicks the crap out of his kid at home because he’s too much of a wimp to take on his real source of rage.

    Oh, and btw I don’t read Sullivan but I’m guessing he hasn’t covered his beloved Barry’s defunding of the Iran Human Rights Doc. Center. How many Iranian gays will suffer/die in complete silence thanks to Barry?

If anyone knows the ransacking of private lives, it’s Andrew Sullivan, cataloger of Sarah Palin’s private email and The Atlantic’s resident expert in forensic gynecology. […]
