Gas tax or no gas tax? For a guy who does not drive, he sure has a lot of opinions. And he sure is into self-inflicting wounds. His latest screed is really kind of amusing in that nuthouse kind of way that appeals to others of the same mindset. His quotation of Gregory Gregorovich Mankiw, that well-known socialist economist of the 1600 Crew has to leave you wondering WTF, over? Mankiw has now gone on record apparently favoring a gas-tax hike (how long before Rove shit-cans him?) and Sully agrees. Not seeing that this again leaves him open to exactly what he accuses Kerry of doing: being on both sides of an issue. Not that that's a new one; but it again underscores his dogmatic belief in Fearless Leader & Co, right or wrong...even when they contradict themselves he makes excuses for them. But then that's what makes him consistant isn't it, irrational discourse and pixie-dust possibilities.
It's funny that even when Sullivan is close to right, he's out in left field...and remaining there without any idea what position he's playing.

If the energy industry could tap this gasbag we might solve the crisis.
