Just another hyperventilating Bush critic
John McIntyre at Real Clear Politics on Andrew Sullivan:
Immediately following 9/11 there was probably not a better voice articulating the war civilized society would face in the new post-9/11 world against Islamic Radicalism. And though it is not exactly news that Sullivan has undergone a transformation these last 18 months, his recent attacks on the Bush administration and their prosecution of the war increasingly sound like the tired demagoguery of the left.Sullivan’s column in the Sunday Times, for example, could just as easily have been written by Jonathan Alter or Maureen Dowd. It is one thing for baby-boomer liberals pining for the good old days of anti-Vietnam protests and Watergate to spin stories about how Bush is the reincarnation of Nixon. But I expect this type of hyperventilating from Alterman, Dowd, Herbert and Rich -- not Sullivan.
I expect it from all five.
