Andrew Sullivan tries to have it every which way. He wants credit for the conservative articles The New Republic published, including a rather shoddy one by Elizabeth McCaughey that he’s still proud of. But the liberal articles, including the responses to McCaughey, don’t count against his conservative cred because it was a liberal magazine. Hey, I’m not the one who raised the issue of Sullivan’s record. He does it every week. Pity he’s so bad at defending it.
