I sometimes wonder if Andrew Sullivan has a ghost blogger. It would certainly explain some inconsistencies. For example, today he wonders what Derb thinks of his book. But in September, Sullivan actually discussed Derb’s reaction to his book. There’s also the inconsistency of Sullivan’s insistence that Derb is a resolute bigot not worthy of civilized consideration (hence the Derbyshire Award), except when Derb says says things that Sullivan finds useful. But that’s a subject for another day.
