I am an unabashed Andrew Sullivan fan, even thru the holy-cow-he-hates-Clinton vitriol - and this kind of post is why I admire him as a writer, admire the function he gets to play as someone with such an expansive audience, and admire him, most of all, as a complex and thoughtful human being trying to […]
