<p>It was a really crammed week on the Dish. Here are some of the more substantive posts you might have missed: on the strange notion of an &quot;<a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/11/the-lgbtqrstz-c.html">LGBT community</a>&quot;; the dysfunctional <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/11/the-clintons.html">Clinton and Clinton team</a>; the Republican <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/11/the-gop-and-ron.html">war on Ron Paul</a>; the torture link between <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/11/robertson-and-1.html">Pat Robertson</a> and Rudy Giuliani; and whether the decline in violence in Iraq these past two months means that the <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/11/iraq-a-long-run.html">Bush administration is vindicated</a>.

Oh, and Ron Jeremy&#8217;s <a href="http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2007/11/mental-health-1.html">Britney Spears impression</a>.</p>
