BUSH-BEATING IS NOTHING BUT SNOBBERY -- Delusions Of An Effete Left-lib Elite!
http://www.iconoclast.ca/NewPage11.asp ^ | MARK STEYN

In Sunday's Observer, Robert McCrum observed: "Today, by some margin, George W Bush is the most despised figure in America." Really? The paper sent McCrum to America to interview nine novelists about the election. That's the first mistake right there: shipping a guy 3,000 miles to take the pulse of the nation by interviewing a bunch of guys who already agree with him. One of the reasons why the Bush-despisers will be waking up stunned on the morning of November 3 is because they spend way too much time talking to each other and sustaining each other's delusions....

Great post. Steyn hit a long one on this story. Every American going into the voting booth this fall will be thinking..." Is that my kid in a school gym being held by some evil thug with a deranged idea in his head and an AK47 in his hands?" Is Bush right afterall???????

"George W Bush is the most despised figure in America."

One would certainly think so be reading the Buchanan/Tancredo immigration threads on FR.

Can somebody post the whole thing here? The type size on the Telegraph page (which Iconoclast links to) is much too tiny to read. Even when I am viewing in Largest font size on my browser.

---Last week, apropos the Islamists' impressive mound of Israeli, Nepalese and Russian corpses, Kofi Annan's office issued the following statement: "The secretary-general strongly condemns all hostage-takings and killings of innocent civilians."


Or, as Cole Porter wrote in Friendship: "If they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain."


That's the UN policy on Sudan. Americans don't want it to be the policy in the war on terror. That's why they'll stick with Bush.---

4 more years! Bush by 10 points!

Use Firefox instead of Explorer. Since their site uses CSS(Cascading Style Sheets), you can use control - + or control - - key combinations to look at it in any size you see fit.

Americans who care about this stuff know where George W Bush stands. They're not sure where the Democrats do - sometimes it's full-scale Michael Moore denial, at other times it's going through the multilateral motions with Kofi and Co. No point on that continuum is of sufficient electoral appeal.

Last week, apropos the Islamists' impressive mound of Israeli, Nepalese and Russian corpses, Kofi Annan's office issued the following statement: "The secretary-general strongly condemns all hostage-takings and killings of innocent civilians."

Or, as Cole Porter wrote in Friendship: "If they ever put a bullet through your brain, I'll complain."

Superb. Especially that last line.
