ARGUMENT AD SULLIVANIUM

David Cohen (Brothers Judd) has just come up with the most hilarious, yet exhaustively descriptive term to describe Andrew Sullivan's approach to building an argument:

ARGUMENT AD SULLIVANIUM

Defined: shrilly ranting and raving like a panic-stricken 4 year-old who just had their lollipop stolen by the bully down the street. Like the 4-year who can only resort to somewhat-naughty language and tears, argument ad sullivanium only results in making one look more pathetic and helpless. The best retort to one who engages in this style of argument is laughter--and the harder you laugh, the harder they cry.
