I generally disagree with Andrew Sullivan’s diatribes against “the left,” mostly because I think the left is so marginal and irrelevant that it’s hardly worth getting upset about. But I do enjoy his year-end “Moore Awards,” named after Michael Moore.

(Did Jane Smiley really say that? What a dolt.)

Check ’em out…..but remember that if one were to compile a similar list making fun of right-wing excesses in 2005, it would be equally entertaining, and considerably longer. And the scary part is, when the left-wing rants, everyone gives ’em a good kick until they’re silent. When the right-wing rants, Karl Rove picks up the phone…..

P.S. Oh, wait—Andrew does compile some right-wing rants. Quite funny. (Just keep scrolling….)
