andrewsullivan.com: the daily douche?

If Sullivan insists on bashing those more prone to actual thinking than himself, he has no one to blame if his next fund drive leaves him in debt. Since he REALLY dislikes Howell Raines and the NYT, it follows that he's pretty unhappy with anyone they actually pay to put words on paper, and perhaps sell dead trees for them. Sully's crosshairs have been lowered on Paul Krugman (again) for taking on the aWol story about President 1st LT and his highly successful military career.

More slipperiness from Raines' apparatchik. Yesterday, he again questioned the president's truthfulness. This time he went after Bush's military record:
[N]obody seemed bothered that Mr. Bush, who appears to have skipped more than a year of the National Guard service that kept him out of Vietnam, is now emphasizing his flying experience. (Spare me the hate mail. An exhaustive study by The Boston Globe found no evidence that Mr. Bush fulfilled any of his duties during that missing year. And since Mr. Bush has chosen to play up his National Guard career, this can't be shrugged off as old news.)

Sully, the president's truthfulness is about as evident as your hetero street creds. Need I say more?. This is one issue that can't be spun, and is being studiously avoided by the 1600 crew and the wurlitzer, because they'll have to start producing real documentation real soon if the heat gets too hot. And they can't do it without making President Bottom-Gun look like the deserting, UCMJ-violating fratboy coward that he is. So head back to where they love you, Santorum-land. They're waiting for your check, remember to make it payable to the Campaign to Re-elect the President.
