Why Andrew Sullivan is the Best Smear-Merchant on the Web

From Patrick Appell's apologia for Andrew Sullivan's debased "Trig Trutherism":

Andrew has an uncanny ability to see important stories before anyone else. He understood the potential of the Iran story before almost any blogger. He saw the discussion that the Tiller murder might provoke the minute he read the news. This sort of insight is a gift, but false positives are hard to let go of. That is the way the human brain is wired.

Actually, that's the way Andrew Sullivan's brain is wired, and perhaps tweaked by HIV-associated dementia. Markos Moultisas is a close second. I wrote about this last summer. See, "Kos and Andrew: Merchants of Hate."
