Deconstructing Fudgie... (Dennis on Andrew Sullivan's Palin obsession)

Fudgie the Clown's short break to sell books to suckers turned out to be that, just a short break. Now he's back doing what he does best... Getting all bats**t crazy about Sarah Palin:

Well, as promised the Dish is back to normal. I'm not. "Going Rogue" is such a postmodern book that treating it as some kind of factual narrative to check (as I began to), or comparing its version of events with her previous versions of the same events (as I have), and comparing all those versions with what we know is empirical reality (so many lies, so little time) is just a dizzying task. The lies and truths and half-truths and the facts and non-facts are all blurred together in a pious puree of such ghastly prose that, in the end, the book can only really be read as a some kind of chapter in a cheap nineteenth century edition of "Lives of the Saints." But as autobiography.

First, let's note the obvious: There never really was a "normal" from which Andrew departed. His obsession with Sarah Palin, Trig Palin and Sarah Palin's fifth pregnancy continues to be genuinely creepy.

Warning to the sensitive: Dennis uses some naughty cuss words in his post. :)

Obviously Sullivan cornfuses Sarah Palin with Anita Bryant and gets all tripped out..

[EveningStar]

Reality confuses Sullivan.

I really think what sullivan’s problem is that he is sexually attracted to Sarah Palin, and being a homosexual, that makes him angry and “confused”.

Oh, so true.

“’Going Rogue’ is such a postmodern book that treating it as some kind of factual narrative to check (as I began to), or comparing its version of events with her previous versions of the same events (as I have), and comparing all those versions with what we know is empirical reality (so many lies, so little time) is just a dizzying task”

I don’t know what’s so “postmodern” (a term people throw around way too casually) about that. The same could probably be said about St. Augustine’s “Confessions,” or any memoir, for that matter.

That’s gonna leave a mark.

I’d bet Sullivan puts on a wig and dresses up like Sarah Palin at night. She’s the woman he wants to be.
