Andrew Sullivan has been throwing up some weird posts today. This one stands out as the wackiest. He so desperately wants to see Republicans and conservative embracing gay people that he sees it where it doesn't exist. He notes that Palin is explicitly against civil unions and equal rights for gays ... and then says this is a great day for gay Republicans? Errrr-what? Add one more thing to the list of things that are confusing me this Friday. She didn't sign a law that her Attorney General said was unconstitutional. That doesn't make her the slightest bit friendly to gays, it merely shows she has some respect for the law. True, even some respect for the law is a step up from Team Bush. But she's not at all gay-friendly, even if she is willing to eat mooseburgers with certain gays and lesbians. Sullivan is bright guy and should wake up from his dreams.
By the way, I will say one thing for this pick - McCain has totally destroyed what otherwise would have been a weekend full of positive stories on Obama. Palin is going to rule the weekend, one way or another.
