You all know that I'm an Andrew Sullivan fan, and have been since the late 80's.
There's a nice piece on Andrew out this week. You can find it here.
A salient quote:
Sullivan is often accused of flip-flopping according to political expediency, but it’s revealing that almost all the later tensions in his thought are prefigured in his writings about Oakeshott from his early 20s, recently published as “Intimations Pursued”. In 1984, he wrote that Oakeshott offers “a conservatism which ends by affirming a radical liberalism”—precisely the charge against Sullivan since 2004.
