how there is always a sinister explanation when people don’t share Andrew Sullivan’s enthusiasm of the year: “To read the Corner today was to be reminded that some are immune to the grace and hope and civility that Reagan summoned at his best; the anger and bitterness is so palpably fueled by fear and racism it really does mark a moment of revelation to me.” I thought it was a dishonest and evasive speech with a few very good moments. Is that allowed?
