Hey, At Least She Didn't Talk With A Negro Dialect...

Self-taught gynecologist Andrew Sullivan sniffs a haughty sniff as he rolls a mighty spliff:

Well, this is the celebrity Alaskan when she was a sports announcer, something her college degree qualified her for perfectly:

Of course, had Sarah Palin graduated from Harvard with a Ph.D. like Sully, and conducted herself with the sort of wisdom Sully acquired from said Harvard Ph.D., she could have...

• contracted a potentially fatal sexually transmitted disease,
• got busted for smoking Arkansas Polio Weed on federal property,
• published excerpts of The Bell Curve (still the gold standard by which all racist pseudo-science is judged) in The New Republic,
• hired journalists the caliber of Ruth Shalit and Stephen Glass at that same publication,
• raised $75,000 from readers to continue her blog, then closed it down and gone on an extended hiatus (followed by taking a job at Time) the instant the $75,000 was in hand,
• lasted all of a year blogging at Time,
• developed a genuinely creepy obsession with Bush-era enhanced interrogation techniques/torture,
• managed to get suspended from The Atlantic for developing a batshit crazy (and even creepier than the whole torture thingy) conspiracy theory about a vice-presidential candidate, and, finally,
• advocated a U.S./NATO invasion of Israel.

But, sadly, Palin'll never have the brains or edjamacation to accomplish any of that...

Is this whole post just a reaction to Litty's comment that you were a Sully wannabe ?

I'm still not convinced.

'Dennis and Sully sitting in a tree
F-E-L-C-H-I-N-G'

(sounds better if you sing it)

Any bets on how long 'til he refers to her as a breeder?

Simon-

Nah, I'd had that Sully post tagged for scorn before Lit ever showed up.

"Any bets on how long 'til he refers to her as a breeder?"

And why would he do that? Oh yeah, because he's gay. Sure, David, you're not bigoted at all.

[Dennis The Peasant]

Kyle-

Actually, Sullivan could actually end up saying it because he has a very creepy obsession with Sarah Palin, her pregnancies and her children. It's one that includes some pretty bizarre (and distasteful) assertions about her last pregnancy in particular.

My question to you is this: Given the above, why would you attribute David's question solely to homosexual bigotry? Sullivan has been quite obsessed with Palin's breeding (as well as that of Palin's daughter). So obsessed, in fact, that he was disciplined by his editors at The Atlantic and forbidden to mention it again on his blog. Seeing as you're the one who isn't bigoted and all, I'd love for you to explain how you got from Point A to Point B and came up with gay bigotry.

Thanks for the laugh.

Sully has uterus envy.

Wombat-

You are obviously a homosexual bigot. No, wait, you're obviously bigoted towards homosexuals. That's it...

[Dennis The Peasant]

Ha ha, Kyle. Beat you to it.

A NATO invasion of Israel sounds like a fine idea, that might actually put a stop to terrorism.

Let's face it -- Sully's an overachiever with a genius IQ. Unlike Sarah Palin, who spends most of her time hounding transgendered Arctic wolves into extinction and faking pregnancies for no apparent reason. I still have not figured out why she is a reckless, irresponsible parent for hopping that jet back to Alaska after her non-existent water broke (we know this since she's a lying liar who was never pregnant in the first place). But if her water *had* broken, she would have been really, really wrong to endanger Willow's baby like that. Or was it Bristol's baby? I get so confused sometimes....

I figure if we were as smart as Andrew Sullivan, the blindingly self evident self-evidentness of this apparent contradiction would Gobsmack us all right between the eyes :p

What's that whole "discovered" bit? I saw that clip before McCain even nominated Palin for VP. I would ask "is Sullivan really that out of it?" but it answers itself.
