Hey, Picasso!

Fans of unapt comparisons will no doubt recall this glorious masterpiece from Sully's Blue Period:

I am gamely casting about for someone to compare Andrew Sullivan to.

"Orwell," he offers, as his pancakes, eggs, and a milkshake are set on the table. We're having breakfast at the Diner -- a place he describes as "un-Washington" -- near his house in Adams-Morgan.

...

"Not that I would compare myself to Orwell," Sullivan adds, sensing that I might be nonplussed.
