Sullivan update

Late last week, I pointed out that Andrew Sullivan had made a fairly significant error in his supposedly damning post on Josh Marshall's recent New Yorker essay, "Power Rangers." And now that Sullivan has acknowledged the error while loudly protesting that it didn't really matter, it's awfully tempting to write a follow-up explaining all the reasons why, in fact, it did. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way do that without sounding every bit as churlish as Mr. Sullivan does in his non-correction correction, so I guess I'll just have to link and move on.

POSTSCRIPT: In case you missed it, check out Ted Barlow's post on this subject; Andrew's e-mail reply, which Ted published in full as an update, is particularly worthy of note. As is Ted's gap-jawed disbelief, which I tend to share.
