Steyn is an amazing and hilarious writer.

“as if to distinguish it from a hot goat or hot mongoose.”

“a bit of club-footed George Michael stall-divider semaphore in Larry Craig’s”

“they don’t have the gleeful partisan brio of the Daily Kos”

Ha ha ha.

John Edwards’ adultery Every editor knew the “rumours” (John Edwards’ adultery ) (i.e., plausible scenario with mountains of circumstantial evidence), but, unlike, say, Sarah Palin’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend’s mother’s drug bust, this wasn’t one of those stories you need to drop everything for.

Those rockin' hipsters at the LA Times deserve to go under - that they would skip an important story about a man who could have been President - and run with something about a child IS AN OUTRAGE.

I don't even think reporters could come up with a plausible excuse for why one story was covered and the other one wasn't.

I wasn’t much of a Steyn fan until the last few months, but now he is one of my favorites to read (perhaps THE favorite). Conversely, I sheepishly will admit to enjoying the Daily Show (via internet broadcasts) UNTIL a few months ago. Now I can’t stand it - it is basically a fellatio festival for Oba’Messiah combined with nightly show trials for the emasculated, powerless political opposition.

I just don’t like reading nor watching government bootlick I guess, regardless of the particular government boot being licked.

If it weren’t for the fact that Elizabeth Edwards underwent treatment for cancer, Pretty Boy’s affair would have received even less coverage from the Ministry of Truth than the miniscule amount it did get.

I don't know how Steyn sustains this level of writing on a consistent basis.

If I was President, I'd hire him to be my speechwriter.
