10 Years of Sully

11Oct10

Somehow I don’t think my toast will make the Dish, but I think it’s worth putting out there. I came to Andrew’s blog later in its life after seeing him many times on Real Time. I think my feelings on Andrew were similar to many my age who read him: Who is this person who […]

Fox, Weigel, the New Black Panther Party, and the Missing Link

14Jul10

I’ve been feeling alienated from politics recently, and a faux controversy like the one Fox produced on the NBPP is one of the reasons. It just seems so tired. Dave Weigel is guest blogging for Sullivan this week, and he’s weighed in. The top part is him quoting an exchange between Sean Hannity and Malik […]

Oh No, Don’t Do It, PoliOlogy!

09Apr10

*Sigh* It’s kinda like getting out there on a playground, a bunch of kids, getting ready to fight, and one of the kids saying, ‘Go ahead, punch me in the face and I’m not going to retaliate. Go ahead and do what you want to with me.’ Isn’t that analogy strikingly similar to the Christian […]

Colin Farrell’s Eloquence and One of Sully’s Other Quotes of the Day

09Apr10

First: “I could give a flying crap about the political process. … We’re an entertainment company,” –Glenn Beck. And that’s why…you (as a blogger) don’t take Glenn Beck very seriously. I don’t think I’d ever put a straight up ban on talking about certain people here, but if I did, Beck would be first, followed […]

Viacom Should Be in Jail

25Mar10

This is clear fraud. First, the context: In their opening briefs in the Viacom vs. YouTube lawsuit (which have been made public today), Viacom and plaintiffs claim that YouTube doesn’t do enough to keep their copyrighted material off the site. We ask the judge to rule that the safe harbors in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) protect […]

Mark Halperin Got Lucky

09Mar10

Now here’s a dude I have no problem attacking. He is the embodiment of everything wrong with political journalism. But I’ll leave it to Andrew Sullivan to do the honors. Money quote: No one does it better than Mark Halperin. Every single thing he cites in his latest brain-dead critique is, I believe, tangibly false, and […]

A Way to End Your Political Career Before It Starts

04Mar10

Via Sullivan, Joyner on Kaus’ Senate run: the mere fact that we’ve accumulated a long paper (pixel?) trail of recording every fool thought that’s passed through our minds over the last several years. Even bright, thoughtful, decent types like Douthat and Klein — and Lord knows, Kaus and Joyner — have written things that would […]

Important Observation from a Daily Dish Reader

12Dec08

From DD: John Stewart is not a great interviewer because he has a double standard: Hiding behind the excuse that it’s not his job to ask hard-hitting questions when it’s a guest he wants to coddle, lobbing them nothing but softball questions. But swinging away with satire, sarcasm and tough questions for guests he and […]
