95. you should give it a try
Edited on Sun Sep-17-06 08:04 PM by Hamlette
I never miss a day. I don't always agree with him, but if you have any interest in knowing what the other side is up to, he'll tell you...and criticize it.

www.andrewsullivan.com

I think you'll be surprised.

As an example, his latest post is "Letter of the Day" which is Vessey's letter to McCain against torture.

His post before that trashes the Wall Street Journal editorial page (He gives them the Malkin award which is his award for hysterical (not as in funny), freaky, nut cases.)

The post before that trashes Yoo for his position on torture.

The post before that criticizes Jonah Goldberg's post on Powell (Sullivan supports Powell's position on torture and calls Goldberg on his comment that Powell is a Johnny come lately to the issue by posting earlier stuff from Powell against torture from early 2002)

Before that, he posted that Glenn Reynolds finally admits things are deterioriating in Iraq. (He and Glenn have been at odds over that issue, with Glenn painting what Andrew believes is too rosy a picture of the condition of Iraq now.)

That's all for today. Every single post critical of the right or in support of a ban on torture. Yesterday he was pissed at Nancy Grace and her treatment of the mother and republicans and the religious right. As usual.

I think you'd be surprised. I don't always agree with him but like John Dean, he's one conservative I can "hear".

Oh, there's an update. He links to the Washington Post article that Iraq was run by republican hacks, not experts and says: "In the immortal words of Abe Simpson, it's a story that angers up the blood."

Edited to correct a typo and add the update.
