Sullivan's piece, "Hubris Ascendant" is an interesting look at the inside of a somewhat distorted (disturbed?) gay man. Andrew Sullivan. He actually believes that somehow, the republicans will somehow love and accept him if he's either a willing lap-dog or a quiet money-donating gay man. BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT. Sorry Sully, don't you get it yet? They hate you, they hate your friends, acquaintances, straight friends who hang out with you (republican or not), and anyone you even remotely know, they probably hate unless they're famous republicans who they can excuse by virtue of celebrity ( i.e. anyone from the Moonie Times).

The final sentences of the piece show Sullivan's willingness to suspend disbelief to remain within the republican party "big tent" where he's more likely to be the cabana-boy joke of Legally Blonde, than taken seriously as a person:

...
The Republican faultlines that helped destroy Bush's father have not, it turns out, disappeared. Bush is going to need every ounce of political capital to keep them from undermining his re-election.

Keep believing that they're going to like you. A rich fantasy life is important to a healthy mind...what's Sullivan's excuse?
