Someone once said, "I don't know how you can read Sullivan, he rots my brain". At the time, I laughed...it was a funny comment about a parenthetically silly man who is so full of himself that, well he reminds me of a gay Commander Codpiece; Fabulously Fervant, Fundamentalist, and Fanatical all rolled into one happy package. So I like to watch him make a complete ass of himself every day, reversing his positions like a broken-field runner as he heads toward a goal post his republican heroes keep moving. Funny stuff. But today...today he managed to sack himself.

Doing what he probably thinks of as a highly-literate deconstruction of an article Wesley Clark wrote for Washington Monthly, our boy gets it wrong from word one to the end. I am guessing that maybe the P-town Prevaricator must have read the braille version of the article with his fingers in band-aids or something, it certainly wasn't the same one I read. Sullivan's piece must have been written to both trash Clark (is Mellon-Scaife paying bonuses for that?) and to please his neocon masters in DC.

Clark, to his credit believes in a system of allies and discussion. Sully believes in a system of big sticks, no carrots and thinks Clark a fool for not sharing that belief. Sully somehow misinterprets Clarks cautioned, reasoned approach to that last refuge of the incompetant, violence, as weakness and something to be scoffed at. Well, Sully you sure got me there, I guess that the 300+ dead soldiers, not to mention the dead Iraqis and a destroyed country are empirical proof of the wisdom of your statemanly insights (and those of the 1600 Crew). What a manly man you truly are.

Ah, a newsflash my beagle-loving vapor-locked swooning neocon-wannbe, the world somehow mananged to survive before this schlub who wants to be king showed up. Even his daddy understood the value and use of a multilateralism. It's pretty much a documented fact that the Chimpster is both too stupid to find Baghdad on a map and really doesn't care where it is anyhow, and that you are too blinded by adoration to believe that. The world and my country will survive after his removal from office next year, but as David Gergen once said "...it will take at least 50 years to repair our international relations".

That's the value of talking to 19 other countries before you do something dumb...it's easier to say you're sorry, if you have to say it at all. It's funny how Wesley Clark gets that and you don't, Testoserella.
