What exactly does [Andrew Sullivan] think is going to happen now? Does he imagine that Kagan, in an uncharacteristically un-butch moment, is going to break down in front of Orrin Hatch and tearily confess to having cloistered away a secret lesbian lover in some Cambridge bat cave because she was worried that Alan Dershowitz would be really really mean to her about it? Because that would go over really well for gay rights–what a role model!–never mind Kagan’s confirmation.

Any day with something new by Richard Kim is a good day.
