Putz is Sully's "Quote for the Day."

This one's gonna leave a mark.

UPDATE:

Putz has posted this whiny response.
...his gratuitious slap at PorkBusters seems more peevishly jealous than anything else. But PorkBusters has worked because it is bipartisan, focuses on the goal rather than the bloggers pushing it, and tries to treat people (except, perhaps, occasionally Trent Lott) with some minimal courtesy, an approach that Andrew might consider emulating in his next crusade.
Yeah, treating people with some minimal courtesy is good. Calling them "a douche" is not.

Mean, mean, jealous Sully!



UPDATE #2

A reader of Sully's piles on.

I haven't regularly read Reynolds since well before the '04 election but it is incredible to see in the post you linked to today that he is still as lame and depressingly predictable a thinker as ever.

There's the passive indifference to the details of a specific issue ("I haven't read the actual bill"), a creepy deference to the will of the public no matter how wrong the "public" may be ("this is pretty consistent with polls I've seen on public attitudes") and, of course, hollow pleas for civility (bloggers behind Porkbusters "treat people ... with some minimal courtesy, an approach that Andrew might consider emulating in his next crusade.")

It's been obvious to anyone remotely sentient that Glenn became a parody of himself long ago but it's less than clear why, exactly, anyone still reads him.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
