He raises two objections to the site’s editorial on Miers. First: It’s bullying. No, it isn’t bullying. It’s bullying, and that’s okay, but it’s directed at the wrong person. Perhaps Sullivan should create a new award for doing a double backflip in five sentences, and give it to himself. Second: He agrees with an emailer that it’s “bizarre” and illogical for NRO to think both that the president should nominate a conservative to the Supreme Court and that the nomination is more likely to be successful if it does not look like a surrender to conservatives. If the thought is too complicated for Sullivan or his readers, I’m sure my colleagues would be happy to explain it again slowly.
