WELCOME MARK STEYN

National Review ^ | OCT. 29, 2003 | David Frum

Continuing its long tradition of welcoming talented immigrants, National Review has just landed my brilliant compatriot, Mark Steyn. He will be replacing me as the author of the backpage column in the dead-tree edition. I wish I could say he has some big shoes to fill--the truth of the matter is that shoving his feet into my footware will require him to pinch his toes.

I'm going to continue blogging in this space, but otherwise will be taking a bit of a rest, pending the publication in January of the book Richard Perle & I have co-authored, AN END TO EVIL: How to Win the War on Terror. I hope by the new year to have completed my long-postponed plan to archive much of my journalism of the past ten years at www.davidfrum.com. For now, the site is, as even I have to admit, pretty lame.

With Steyn's advent, a subscription to the print NR becomes an better deal than ever. If you're not a paying customer, you're not just cheating us; you're cheating yourself.

I wonder whether Steyn would be interested in hosting Rush Limbaugh's radio program? Of course, not everyone who writes well can also host a live show all that well, but it might be worth a try.

The best revenge against the Limbaugh lynching would be to find someone even more effective at disemboweling liberal dogma.

I'd listen to it. He's been on radio interviews before and I heard those went quite well.

I've had this fantasy of Christopher Hitchens guesting for Rush.

Does this mean we'll hear less from the Canadian liberal Frum? I hope so.
