Andrew Sullivan catches a wingnut being stupid:

You begin to glimpse the mindset of the far right reading a say-anything apparatchik like Hewitt:

We have Ann Coulter and Michael Savage. They have Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews.

Leave aside the idiotic right-left, us-them crapola. Are we really supposed to believe that Chris Matthews is equatable with Michael Savage? That Olbermann, however partisan and shrill he can be, is the equivalent of the fag-baiting, Hitler-equating bigot, Coulter?

Sullivan’s new attentiveness to the wacko right is kind of adorable. (It’s kind of like watching a two year old discover what he makes in his nappy.)

The really funny thing is that comparing Savage and Coulter to Olbermann and Matthews is actually an improvement on their long standing liberal media critique. It wasn’t long ago that Savage and Coulter were considered to be the answer to Dan Rather and Katie Couric. Baby steps.

(It’s even funnier, by the way, to read the whining on the right about the left’s fearsome message machine and well-funded infrastructure. Booga-booga.)
