Very interesting first-hand account of the recent climate change hearing chaired by Ted Cruz in the Senate.

Very interesting first-hand account

Seems more like Steyn bragging about his "importance".

But you take it however it makes you most comfortable.

As I've often said, the Republican Party is so good at folding they should be the White House valets.

No one says it quite like the extremely talented Mark Steyn.

Thank you for posting this. Very interesting and a fascinating first hand account of this committee meeting. Unbelievable nonattendance by the gOpee.

And Steyn's conclusion and analogy to the courage of Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds and his men was truly masterful.

Steyn ping ...

I’d feel pretty important, not in a way I’d care for, if not only the Canadian government had hounded me for my personal opinion, but the US Congress also considered my personal opinion important enough to hold hearings on them, and threatening enough to have senators talking about making people who shared my opinion, political prisoners.

Sorry, I’m not kissing his butt no matter how much trouble he’s gotten into.

You go ahead though and report back on the taste.

Steyn has a way with words, and a willingness to say things others won’t.

Including why there was only one Republican at the hearing.

That was really uncalled-for, I didn’t attack you or your opinion, I merely stated mine.

This is why I pray every night that Cruz becomes POTUS. He will have the bully pulpit to expose the bastards in the GOP. His Justice Department can investigate the rampant corruption in both parties! This is why all of them are terrified and hate him so.

GO CRUZ!!!

Wow, I can just feel your awesomeness...

Interesting you poke at Steyn's bragging your own tagline right next to it...

“No one says it quite like the extremely talented Mark Steyn. “

It’s just too bad this stuff doesn’t reach our idiotic voters in a manner that would allow them to “properly process” the information. What Steyn is saying is that mostly what we have in Washinton today is a big steaming pile of $hit for Congressmen and Senators. We would, indeed be better-served if we replaced every last one of them all at one time.

Reading (or listening to) Steyn raises your IQ several points

Why don’t you shut up when you have nothing intelligent to say?

Which is almost always

I don't know if you're missing punctuation or entire words.

Perhaps both, or maybe you have a disability. Don't drive.
