Soundbite: David Brooks Has Fallen Out Of Love With Andrew Sullivan
At the Atlantic, I start with Andrew Sullivan and I inevitably cycle through almost all of them. I used to agree with Andrew quite a lot but he went on this transition from right to left. I liked him better on the right and especially during the middle of his transition. Now I find I know what he’s going to say.
– David Brooks discusses his reading habits in today’s edition of ‘What I Read’ at the Atlantic Wire.
And you know what, he’s right. Sullivan’s long, painful, honest departure from the Right that began leading up to the 2004 election and culminated in early 2008 when he jumped firmly on the Obama bandwagon was absolutely fascinating. And I would argue quite important. That’s not to say Sullivan has stopped being interesting, he hasn’t not by a long shot. But somewhere between his unrelenting bashing of Hillary Clinton (the candidate…he’s warmed to her as Sec. of State) and his sometimes disturbing fascination with Sarah Palin, he has become a tad less necessary.
