Sullivan was, for a time, Editor of the New Republic. Before that he had had various writing and sub- editorial posts on the magazine, and since he has continued to contribute, while also publishing elsewhere. He is not precisely a conservative, but not precisely a neo- liberal (a la Marty Peretz) either. He is more conservative than most readers of the New Republic, which caused his tenure as Editor to be brief, but more liberal than readers of National Review. Notably, his main literary endeavor has been a book supporting gay marriage. He is a Roman Catholic, gay, and English.

You might not remember because it wasn't Sullivan. And it wasn't Bush or Dole. It was another writer, and another candidate. And it was a wicked piece of satire that he wrote in which he said did it. The paper was not amused, most of his readers were not amused. Go, figure, his readers mostly responded that they would want no such thing done to the candidates they support, and would not want to be associated with such an action to a candidate they "did not" support. And thought the "satire" went over the line. Oh, well. And, no, I'm not gonna dispel the urban legend entirely by posting the facts. If the G's are interested, the truth is out there in the X-files. <g>
