Man, I don't envy Andrew Sullivan. Being a gay conservative has got to be tough. Bush's announcement today that he plans to try to write discrimination against gays into the Constitution has hit him hard , and he responds eloquently.
Though there's this bit:
"I wonder if the Bush administration even thought about how mean-spirited this was going to appear. And how nakedly political. Some journalists are reporting that White House sources are telling them that they do not expect this to pass but they need to fire up their base. They'd go this far for purely political reasons? I guess I really was naive."
(I'm really really trying hard not to say, "Well, DUH!!!!" I really am. Honest.)
