LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Over at Politix, David Mark has some fun with Andrew Sullivan’s latest freakout, this time over the possibility that our first gay president might not, in fact be cruising toward reelection.

Mark reminds people that Sullivan was recently “a ‘Trig-truther’ — questioning the paternity of Sarah Palin’s youngest child.” I’ve always preferred “afterbirther” as the appropriate conspiratorial taxonomy on that one, but it raises the same basic point that I’ve wondered about for the past few years: How does a guy this nutty get taken seriously?

That’s not a rhetorical question, by the way. If anybody out there has got a good answer, I’d like to hear it.
