Smarter Andrew Sullivan

Who’s Not a Republican?

Is it just me or does Andy seem to be expressing lament in Wednesday’s post, “Don’t Miss,” about Senator Trent Lott (R-Miss.)?

Andy writes, “He’s now more than embarrassment. He’s an obstacle to the Republican future.”

So is that a good thing or a bad thing?

If Andy is, as he protests, not a Republican and never could be, is this cause for rejoicing or sorrow? The tone of The Daily Dish lately would suggest the latter.

The question then becomes, Why?
