Insightful, comprehensive, funny, lethal.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Steyn is regarded in 100 years much as we see Mark Twain today.

Not a nice wish. The real Mark Twain had a child seduction issues of his own, much like Polanski.

That’s an interesting comparison. I agree.

Oh, he's way better than Twain. Twain was regrettably inconsistent in quality. Most of his stuff is beyond boring, even rather bad, often unreadable. Steyn, by comparison, is almost always superb, entertaining, insightful, clever. With a few exceptions, Twain ranked way down the Steynian scale.
