Andrew Sullivan’s sexist id

Queer misogyny doesn’t receive much attention these days but it’s alive and living in our community.

Andrew Sullivan should know better. He comes dangerously close to slipping down that slippery misogynistic slope aimed at Hillary.

On The Chris Matthews Show yesterday:

Mr. SULLIVAN: Then go to the end of the year, where I think the real one-liner happened when it was brought up in that debate with Obama and Clinton about his foreign policy advice and whether he was relying on Clinton’s advisers and how then could he have a new change. And she laughed this devilish cackle that she’s now become known for, which in itself might be the--one of the one-liners of the year. `I’d like to see how he’d answer that,’ she said.

MATTHEWS: I love that--devilish cackle. Where’d you come up with that?

Mr. SULLIVAN: Somewhere in my id.

I guess he figured he could do the NYTimes name-calling one better. More here.
