SULLY UPDATE…AND CONTEST
 |
James Joyner | Tuesday, June 10, 2003 |
Andrew Sullivan added nearly 500 more $20 plus contributors yesterday, bringing his total over 5,000. His goal is 7,000.
Challenge to Scott Ott, Frank J, or Rip Rowan in addition to other OTB readers: Write an parody post of what Sully would write if he learned that Howell Raines were actually gay.
Update (14:36): Little Miss Attila takes Sully’s side in the Great Fundraising Debate.
Update (15:01): Kathy Kinsley is rather annoyed with Sully.

Wait... Howell isn't gay?
I agree with Little Miss Attila--I don't see anything wrong with Sully aksing for cash--as it is wholly voluntary. I just remained floored that he is able to generate that kind of revenue in this way.
And really, like James said in his first post on this topic--what does it actually cost to maintain a blog with that kind of traffic? It is more an issue of curiousity than a judgment on whether he should ask for the cash.
And for me the funny thing is that I see some of my freelance column writing as helping to pay for the blog, rather than wanting the blog to supplement writing.
