But, I cannot deny the fact that he's a good <I>writer</I> and there is definite satisfaction reading a guy so throughly disenchanted with Bush, and doing an entertaining and prolific job of being so.<BR/><BR/>He is also an invaluable source of links and quotes. So to me his column is a must-check-multiple-times daily. He'd probably be "dead to me" to if I had read him all along.Mr Furioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781439243585972721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-9831067773765635862007-08-13T17:16:00.000-05:002007-08-13T17:16:00.000-05:00I agree with Toast on Sullivan.

Mighty convenient of him to switch sides in that debate when one side became so obviously wrong. <BR/><BR/>I also agree with Furious that it lets Bush off the hook. It brings up an interesting question. How much blame will land on Bush for all of this mess? He's so widely regarded as a disinterested boob. How much can you blame him?fridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17425930959777732035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-24924318199305753822007-08-13T16:51:00.000-05:002007-08-13T16:51:00.000-05:00Agreed.

There's no atoning for calling me a traitor for being <I>opposed</I> to an illegal, immoral war. Sullivan ain't on my "On Notice" board. He's dead to me.<BR/><BR/>(*I do recall that even when Andy wrote his first big Iraq mea culpa, he went <I>out of his way</I> to claim that those of us who opposed the war in the first place were "right, but for the wrong reasons".

Same goes for Cheney and a host of others. Rove enabled others and was enabled by others, chiefly Bush.<BR/><BR/>IMO, anyone who thinks Rove is going to be out of the picture is extremely naive. He can, and I'm sure will, do plenty over the phone, via e-mail and in secret sit downs with the Decider, Deadeye Dick and others.<BR/><BR/>Don't be surprised if Rove continues to be hailed by the right as a strategic genius. For all he's obviously done wrong, Rove did two things right-wing Republicans value most: winning in 2000 and 2004. For them, winning isn't just the best thing, it's the only thing that matters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313509.post-79427782197813477272007-08-13T14:08:00.000-05:002007-08-13T14:08:00.000-05:00Agreed.
