Missouri = Mississippi. So Steyn's not perfect.

Talk about an article that hits the nail on the head.....

Thanks for the ping!

The American electorate is "polarised" in the sense that a seesaw would be with Kate Moss at one end and me at the other.

Priceless as always.

But not to worry. Just as your rattled Democratic supporter is beginning to feel a harsh jab of reality in what Slate's Mickey Kaus calls the "liberal cocoon", the media rush to lull him back to the land of make-believe, assuring us that the Democrat defeat is attributable to strictly local factors and is definitely not part of a trend.

Ha, this sounds like 80% of the post election articles I've read this week. Go Liberal Media. Build your little coccoon. Build it big. Build it thick.

Damn! Story of my life... ;-)

In the President's speech last Thursday, the bit I liked best was this, because I've been saying it myself for two years: "Sixty years of Western nations excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make us safe - because in the long run stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty."

That's a beautiful quotation. "Stability cannot be purchased at the expense of liberty." That will be on the cornerstone of an impressive monument one day.

BTTT for The Master!

And on a Friday evening, who could disagree!

You know it's really bad when even our allies across the pond notice the 'Liberal Cocoon' when the Liberals themselves refuse to see it. But then again, alot of that same 'cocooning' occurs in the British, French, German, and Al-Jezeer (sp?) press corps.

This is going to scare the europeans to death. They were really hoping we'd be dumb enough to elect another Clinton. Too bad europe.

[whereasandsoforth]

I'll say! That nail could file charges!

Nice riff on the dangers of believing your own propaganda...

As for Bush merely solidifying his base, Kentucky hasn't elected a Republican governor since 1967 and Missouri has elected only two in the past 125 years.

Obviously he means Mississippi. Bring me the editor, and flog him.

[AmishDude]

We might be able to blame this on an editor.

Because, as we all know . . . Mark Steyn is perfect, dammit!

[EDINVA]

Steyn has the same firm grasp on Mississippi/Missouri as the American Dems

[My2Cents]

"typical voters" (choreographers of environmentalist dance companies, etc)

ROFL!!!...Steyn's the best.
