1 I don't know about the Moron-in-Chief, I really don't. He sounded pretty damned serious to me. But OK, never mind ol' Ace. You were asking about Patterico. I've got an idea Patterico's pretty much fairly incensed at AS right about now. Treating Sarah Palin's children they way he did, plus calling them 'fair game', I suspect Patterico lifted a page out of Ace's handbook and decided that AS's, erm, ass, is 'fair game' too. Hence the 'Glutes' remark. Could be worse. The post you linked to didn't have Patterico write about the 'milky loads' in the main body. So, not complete all-Acey, if there's such a term. And Beldar's kinda mad at AS too. I won't lose too much sleep over it. It's just your bog-standard juvenile name-calling; just so happens, the facts are documented on Excitable Andy, is all. Thing is, I never knew (read) a pre-crazy Andy Sullivan. So it's kinda hard for me to judge, you know? I'm just going with the flow and buying me some Pringles, since popcorn doesn't work out all that well in a muggy climate. Sarahcudda rocks! is what I think But the rain washes out my DirecTV and Vista's networking troubles rears its ugly head again

2 I don't believe Ace is really anti-homosexual. I don't believe Patrick is, either. They are both royally pissed off at Sullivan, but it seems to me that this comes about as a result of reading Andrew Sullivan, which is one's first mistake. Of course, if Patterico didn't have such a strong stomach, he couldn't read the Los Angeles Times and critique it as thoroughly and ruthlessly as he has over the years. So I'm glad that . . . someone's doing it. But Ace, anti-gay? Doubt it. Patterico, anti-gay? Absolutely not. They're just fighting dirty--that's all.

3 Argh. I dunno if my post got eaten or not. Stupid argle bargyle whrgrbl Streamyx broadbandmyass connection. Just in case it didn't get through, yeah, I read it pretty much the same way. Anti-Andy more than anything else.
