arch-defender of the Bush/Ashcroft assault on our civil liberties Alterman

Funny how Andrew Sullivan, arch-defender of the Bush/Ashcroft assault on our civil liberties has become so attached to the U.S. Constitution all of a sudden now that they’re coming after people like him.

It would take a better man than I am not to enjoy the tsuris over at Little Roy Cohn Central over this Constitutional amendment stuff.  “Schadenfreude” is not our favorite word in the English language for nothing.  But why is it that it takes a direct attack on Andy’s own identity for him to realize that this administration has no concern for anyone but the wealthy business elite, conservative Christians and neocon strategists who make up its political base?  Funny how this arch-defender of the Bush/Ashcroft assault on our civil liberties has become so attached to the U.S. Constitution all of a sudden now that they’re coming after people like him.

I would welcome him into the fold, but I worry that this may all be a trick.  What if Andy turns out to be another of those dirty “fifth-columnists” located in “decadent coastal enclaves” who, unpatriotically, supported the candidate who supported the rights of gay people in the last election?  Scary, huh?
