He first got his column in 1976. At the WaPo, lifetime tenure trumps even unvarnished racism and even less varnished mediocrity. Can you imagine him being able to make it in the blogosphere on his own merits? Me neither.

Oh, hell, Sullivan is just claiming to be higher up in the food chain than Cohen, because he thinks he's been able to "make it in the blogosphere on his own merits."
Very self-congratulatory, and very much in character for Sullivan.
Truth is, neither of them are much to write home about.
