Tom Maguire explains why I delinked Andrew Sullivan years ago:

His big finish:

I want to apologize to my readers for dropping this ball. And congratulate the National Enquirer for following the facts where they eventually led.

There’s courage in that. Pulitzer-level courage.

Oh, there was Pulitzer-level courage in sticking with the “Trig spawned by space aliens” angle too. National Enquirer level courage.

For myself, I am stuck on the simpler theory that Andrew wants to bash what he sees as homophobic Republicans, not seemingly sympathetic Dems.

That plus (perhaps — dare I say it?) AIDS-induced dementia? In which case one can only pity. But still not link.

And actually, in Sullivan’s case, it’s more like Weekly World News courage.
