DISOWNERS WELCOMED
The church of Andrew Sullivan welcomes a few more members:
Virtually the entire conservative movement is now disowning this administration and this Congress. I welcome every single one.
Including Pat Buchanan and his paleo friends, whose, er, excesses Sullivan breezily sweeps aside:
Yes, there’s the usual anti-Semitic undertow here. It’s Buchanan’s posse. At the same time, on the simple facts on the ground ...
... Sullivan has thrown it all away. Only a couple of years ago, he denied Buchanan was even a conservative:
Buchanan cannot, I think, be described as a conservative. He’s an economic leftist with social fascist tendencies.
Now Sullivan welcomes Buchananites—part of the “conservative movement” once more—back to his weird political sector. Sullivan might be the least consistent pundit of the last decade.
