So Out

Sully doesn't disappoint, as he continues his "unrepentant" defense of his attack on Wes Clark. Tucker Carlson is on MSNBC right now, parroting Sullivan's arguments against Clark. Andrew should be proud of the company he keeps.

As I have mentioned in the past, Andrew Sullivan has blinders on when it comes to John McCain. Despite his passion for Obama, Sullivan believes in John McCain, and always wants to see the positive in him. He also doesn't like Wes Clark. This gives him an opportunity to harmonize his views on McCain and Clark, reality be damned.

Here's the reality. Even if Clark made a mistake in tone, even if it it was "ham-fisted," the McCain campaign is making a nasty campaign issue where there is none. That's where the real story is - they are using Clark to swiftboat Obama (and using an actual member of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth to do it). But, Andy would never take note of that. Because John McCain doesn't do that type of thing.
