— Andrew Sullivan drives the extreme left insane, because he’s one of those Oppressed People who’ve wandered off the thought plantation, like Ward Connerly and Nora Vincent, and actually has the nerve to criticize Conventional Totalitarian Thought of the sort typified by The Nation. Thus Sullivan a constant target for abuse by the belligerosos.
Sullivan’s decision to do some Shakespeare (he’s playing Benedick in Much Ado) provided the opening The Nation’s Eric Alterman needed to brand him a drama queen. Silly Alterman, you don’t even warrant a link.
