Andrew Sullivan Has A Schoolgirl Crush On Sarah Palin

Drama Queen extraordinaire Andrew Sullivan announced on his blog The Daily Dish that it was “going silent” in order to deal with the fresh round of Palin data!  Check out this bit of drama Andy left on his blog: 

To Our Readers

This is only the second time in its nearly ten-year history that the Dish has gone silent. The reason now is the same as the reason then. When dealing with a delusional fantasist like Sarah Palin, it takes time to absorb and make sense of the various competing narratives that she tells about her life. There are so many fabrications and delusions in the book, mixed in with facts, that just making sense of it - and comparing it with objective reality as we know it, and the subjective reality she has previously provided - is a bewildering task. She is a deeply disturbed person which makes this work of fiction and fact all the more challenging to read. And the fact that she is now the leader of the Republican party and a potential presidential candidate, makes this process of deconstruction an important civil responsibility. We take this seriously as we always have. We want to be fair to her, and to her family, and to the innocent people she has brought into the spotlight. And we are not reporters. We are merely analysts trying to make sense of evidence already in the public domain, evidence that points in all sorts of directions, only one of which can be true.

Since the Dish has tried to be rigorous and careful in analyzing Palin's unhinged grip on reality from the very beginning - specifically her fantastic story of her fifth pregnancy -  we feel it's vital that we grapple with this new data as fairly and as rigorously as possible. That takes time to get right. And it is so complicated we simply cannot focus on anything else.

There are only three of us.

And we have had the book for less than a day. We feel we owe it to you to get it right - or as right as we can - until we post or publish anything. As readers know, we also differ on some key issues and intend to air them and thrash this out until we are confident that whatever we publish is as fair as possible.

At some point, we will also go back and make sure we have not missed all the evidence of the other lies that Palin is now peddling. We won't miss anything. But we ask for your patience.

There is a possibility here of such a huge scandal that we would be crazy not to take our time either to debunk it or move it forward for further examination.

We have only one commitment: to get this right. Please bear with us as we do the best we can. 

Oh brother! You know when you start to look at Andrew Sullivan’s behavior towards Sarah Palin it really does remind you of the silly little games some schoolgirls play when they have a crush on a guy.

Think about it. Those little girls do the name calling, the obsessing, the belittling and of course the feigned indifference. Have we all not seen this from Andrew when it comes to Sarah Palin?

OK, Andrew time to come clean, admit it, Sarah Palin turns you on!  She has reanimated your Y chromosome and you have no idea what to do about it!

Here is my advice Andrew, keep the Daily Dish silent until Levi Johnston drops his draws in Playgirl.  That should put things back in order for you … we hope.
