Well, I was close. At the end of this post (Wednesday, May 14, 2003, 12:59 P.M., if the link is bloggered), I said that all the hate and bile in Andrew Sullivan's New York Observer review of Sidney Blumenthal's The Clinton Wars wouldn't prevent Blumenthal's publisher from using a few of Sullivan's sentences as a blurb: "The account Mr. Blumenthal gives of the haplessness and priggishness of Kenneth Starr is riveting stuff. ...The insane attempt to actually bring down a President over perjury in a civil suit has not yet been more vividly evoked. ... Brutally revealing about the stupidity, bigotry, malevolence and extremism of the right-wing forces that became obsessed with President Clinton." In fact, Farrar Straus Giroux has an ad for Blumenthal's book in the Arts section of today's New York Times, and there it is, right below quotes from Robert Dallek, UPI, Eric Alterman, and AP:

"Brutally revealing."

--Andrew Sullivan, The New York Observer

Heh-heh-heh.
