A Columnist Finally Goes Completely Around the Bend

Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic has gone completely delusional. Perhaps one of the many STDs he's exposed himself to is finally taking its toll, or perhaps Palin Derangement Syndrome is even more destructive than the Bush version was, but this is part of his latest post:

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.

...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.

In case you weren't aware Sullivan is just about the last guy still trying to insist that Trig was not Sarah Palin's son, but in fact her daughter Bristol's son., even though the gestational math simply doesn't work. It hasn't stopped him from this singular obsession against the Palin family.

I think it's time Sullivan was retired to a care home where he can get the treatment he clearly needs.
