I'm sorry, but I really don't imagine Sarah Palin reading a lot of anything, no less obsessively. And Andrew, of the oceans of words written about Sarah on a daily basis, I think every blogger/journalist/comic should think twice before claiming the failed VP/gov/Levi-mistress "obsessively" reads anyone of them.
As gay man who rather obsessively reads gay political blogs, this whole point kinda wraps up why I don't read (obsessively or leisurely) Andrew Sullivan. #andrewsullivan
@manchops: Andrew Sullivan, you mean the gay Catholic publicly HIV+ conservative Republican apologist who ties himself up in knots explaining why the people he chooses to align himself with work so hard to make life harder for people with any/some/all of his characteristics, except of course his wealth and privilege, except for him? Don't want.
@If_I_Had_a_Poodle: I know poodle--and I think the richest part of the whole thing is how still obsessed he is to be taken seriously and read obsessively by this old republican lackeys. It's like still wanting mommy's approval or something after she's kicked you out of the house #andrewsullivan
@manchops: Perfectly said. He is desperate for the approval of those who repeatedly kick him and those like him across the spectrum. And yet. #andrewsullivan
@skt.smth: I'm trying to get the word "glennbeckery" to mean "Deliberately repeating innuendo and unfounded rumors while ostensibly and disingenuously expressing disbelief."
Example: Perhaps Sarah Palin and Barack Obama can exchange records and we can put an end to all this glennbeckery.
With there being so many admitted publications Sarah doesn't read, I always gave her literacy the benefit of the doubt, and figured there were a few things she did read. When guessing what that very short reading list would include, I don't think I would have guessed a gossipy blog by gay conservative. I was thinking the Sweet Valley High series would take too much room for much else.
Also, Levi might be an ex-boyfriend but he will always be da baby's daddy.
To be fair to the Alaskan idiotrix, Andy really was obsessed with the timeline of her uterine contractions to an unseemly degree. But he's right, it was a shady story- Palin as Amelia Earheart crisscrossing North America after breaking water and keeping it all a deep dark secret.
I'm already gagging on the sheer self-serving lies this Wasilla woman is dishing up, so- Team Sullivan really. #andrewsullivan
@Baroness: When I read what she did AFTER her water broke in regards to heading to a hospital to insure that her child was born alive... I was kinda shocked. You would think that knowing a 'special needs' child is about to be born that you would want immediate medical monitoring to insure a safe delivery -- not only for your child, but for yourself -- especially at her advanced child-birthing age. #andrewsullivan
I like Rudy, every time a camera or a weapon is pointed at him he takes advantage of you. Wouldn't it be fun , just for a weekend to have him back as mayor, or better still run off against Mayor Bloomberg, now that would really make local politics interesting.
Bring back Rudy, NY needs him to keep us sufficiently entertained.
Damn. This is more publicity than Rudy got for his entire nine-eleveny campaign to be President of 911. And it's not even for his douchey politics, it's for his douchey prosecutorial style. My understanding is that there is an entire generation of old dudes waiting to pick fights with Rudy over his over-zealousness back in the day. But they need to remember that, unlike then, Rudy no longer regards lying to a federal prosecutor as a serious crime.
Here's a little-noted quite unexpected consequence! The one who obviously provoked the incident has plenty of free publicity for his endeavors. Has this ever happened before? Wonder if it'll become a trend ...

How do we know these children weren't kidnapped from aliens who landed on the tundra?
Have the Palins denied this? What are they hiding? #andrewsullivan

And on Palin, she probably bought that baby from a shady Mexican medical practice.

"factually verifiable questions is obviously not libel."
Can we call that "The Beck Defense"?
11/14/09
I don't know about that. But what I do know is that Glenn Beck hasn't denied claims that he raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. #andrewsullivan
