The clip is about three and a half hours, and starts with Dan "Rostie" Rostenkowski. Fast forward to the 1:31:39 mark to see Steyn's segment.

PS: If there is a Windows Media version [MMS], I couldn't find it.

Highlights:

WF Buckley quoted him: "lard butt" made it sound like a Renaissance painter with his languid vowels.

He's not an American and apropos of that he said that during singing of National Anthem, a guy told him, "Makes you proud to be an American and sorry if you're not."

His son didn't know Pledge of Allegiance. Made Mark think they were like the unassimilated Muslims in France.

Cecil Rhodes: born an Englishman, win the lottery of life. Now it's true for America.

Belgium will have a very hard time holding on to their country.

Same for France. Quotes a Frenchman who said he'd just avoid the riot areas. In time, there will be no area to which to escape.

Why did he leave Canada? To escape taxes (78%!!!!). This bored his listener. The right reason is he loves the town meeting form of government. Called the state for info on education and got the state commissioner of education. He put in for a secretary, but the legislature voted it down.

He's a "fully documented un-American." Leftist have the best euphemisms. "undocumented immigrant" he would never think of. Fully documented immigrant--so was Mohamed Atta.

In France, one commentator called them African American. Another called Nelson Mandela an African American. Another leftist euphemism.

After slogging through the LA Times, one of the jobs Americans won't do is produce a readable newspaper.

Winston was a funny man. Was called a happy warrior. Hitler called him a puppet of international Jewry. Seriously. Really missed who Churchill was.

If Clinton had run for a third term Mark could have retired to the Bahamas on Clinton's sex life. Wrote about Monica's dress being in the witness protection program and is now a curtain in Idaho.

Thought of writing a book on the end of the world. It would be breezily apocalyptic. Agent turned him down.

Going from Monica to the fourth world war with Islamiscists cuts into his humor.

Puzzled by John Kerry's comment about Benedict Arnold CEO's. Has no idea what he's talking about.

Finds it hard to take John Kerry seriously. We live in serious times. Much of the western world will not survive this time.

A lot of Brits wrote and said "Fortunately, I won't live to see it." A lot of changes we will see.

The Islamic war is left over from WW I. The middle East is an Anglo French concoction. Churchill invented Jordan over lunch. Britain and France were too tired after the war to do a good job. They just drew lines in the sand.

Tommy's in the trenches were called lions led by donkeys. After WW I, all Europe procrastinates and delays taking moral stands.

Canada committed to reducing greenhouse gasses 6% under Kyoto.
