How to stop entertaining excrescences.
By Ann Althouse

Which of Andrew Sullivan's reasons for supporting Kerry is the most tortured? I think it's this:

"[A Kerry presidency] would deny the Deaniac-Mooreish wing a perpetual chance to whine and pretend that we are not threatened, or to entertain such excrescences as the notion that president Bush is as big a threat as al Qaeda or Saddam."

Because you never heard a peep out of the left during the Clinton presidency, did you?

But this line surprised me more:

"One of the central questions in this election is simply: can John Kerry be trusted to fight the war on terror? Worrying about this is what keeps me from making the jump to supporting him."

Sullivan hasn't declared his support for Kerry yet? I guess I don't read him enough anymore to have noticed he hasn't literally declared his support. I do read him enough to know he's "excitable." He used to idolize Bush so much. Maybe in the end, he's going to find his way back to Bush!
