Re: Andrew Sullivan Is Mrs. Anakin Skywalker

A very clever reader follows up on my suggestion that Sullivan channel Mae West, or Joan Crawford, or Bette Davis, rather than Natalie Portman:

Mae West: “A soldier at Guantanamo was heard to say, ‘When I’m good I’m very good, but when I’m bad I’m better.’”

Joan Crawford: “Are we to believe the guards at Guantanamo do not use wire hangers — EVER?”

Bette Davis: “In observing our behavior at Gitmo I can only say, ‘What a dump!’”

Oh, and I can hear Sullivan’s reponse now….”NRO makes light of accusations of torture…this is no laughing matter…the beagle wept when he heard about the mistreatment of the Koran…Men should be naturally hairy….”
