Andrew’s Big Day   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

Can I just say something about that JPod? I wish Andrew Sullivan every happiness. We disagree on a whole host of issues, obviously. I’m endlessly frustrated that the MSM refers to him as “conservative.” But he’s my brother, ya know? He’s human and he boldly lives life with a fascinating honesty we watch on that blog. He’s said some awful and ridiculous things about folks here and elsewhere but we keep reading and that’s because he is a talent — even when he’s wildly wrong. And he reminds us that behind public-policy debates are people just as struggling and vulnerable as any one of us is — his doing it so openly, when it doesn’t drive us crazy, makes us stronger. God bless you, Andrew Sullivan.
