Give Sullivan credit where due. He is not a Bush-hater or a Dem shill, but the problems in post war Iraq (plus his gay white whale) have turned him into a Kerry apologist. That's why this letter is so perfect for him.
Indeed.
I have read Mr. Sullivan on and off, and one thing sticks with me - he's a guy who thinks. Seriously. It is rare for someone who posts their opinions in public to approach their own opinions critically. Sure, he doesn't do it every day. Sure, he's wrong. But he's one of the very few public personalities who I know will examine himself and his conclusions - and who will, no matter the embarassment, admit mistakes.
If a man is a thinking man, he looks at himself often and critically. If a man has guts, he can admit he's been wrong.
I hold hope that Mr. Sullivan gets a spark from this letter and starts re-evaluating his positions.
That is just the impression I have gotten since Bush proposes that marriage amendment. The cheap shots he has taken at Bush and convincing himself that Bush could do a better job with lame logic or saying Kerry slam dunked the debates because a CNN poll says so shows he is clearly angry at Bush even if he does not hate him outright.
