Deconstructing Andy

Every right-of-center blogger is familiar with Andrew Sullivan's defection from the right, and with the reasons he decided he could no longer be seen as a conservative. I used to read his blog daily, at a time when most of the blogs I visit today (not to mention the one I write for) didn't even exist. But, like many others of my ilk, I rarely stop by any more, not because he never has anything interesting to say -- I'm sure he does -- but because he's become monotonous and boring.

Joe Knippenberg has posted a good deconstruction of Sullivan's latest assault on his former allies, which comes in the form of a long article in TNR. Joe finds it intellectually incoherent and, although I haven't read it yet, given Sullivan's predilection for such discourse over the past year or two, I'll bet Joe's right.
