Mark Steyn: The Very Model of a Modern Major Generalist

NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE ^ | June 12, 2010 | Mark Steyn

[Nepeta]

I can see November from my house. So far, the performance of our first unpresident has been a sight to behold--but wait until he doesn't have Dem majorities in both houses to help him carry out his desires. The tantrums and off-teleprompter inanities will go exponential in quantity and quality.

He's in the thick of a crisis he cannot spin and cannot cope with. When another piles on, and it will, be prepared for a melt down. His handlers will end up sedating him for public appearances.

I do love the fact that the oil spill is too much of a distraction for environmentalists.

Love Steyn. Why did he sub for Rush at least one freakin’ day?

In comparative terms, this was more like the 11pm phone call rather than 3am -- one can only rue the day the voters didn't pay attention to the accuracy of the warning Hillary Clinton gave.

Of course, she ignored it her own self by taking on his SoS job.

Mark Steyn has lived and worked all over the globe. He has no college degree. Simply brilliant! He was born smart. I’m pretty sure he can speak French so he beats 0bama on that

[spodefly]

There are millions of people like Barack Obama, the eternal students of a vast lethargic transnational campus for whom global compassion and the multicultural pose are merely the modish gloss on a cult of radical grandiose narcissism.

Bullseye. And it is past time the US rid itself of such. By any means necessary. Starting in DC.

[FreedomPoster]

Find later bump.

[Jeff Chandler]

What do you mean, “used to”?

[RoadTest]

Bravo! Bravo! Encore! Encore!

(I’m serious)

His syndicate owns the newspapers - tabloids included.

[RoadTest]

“Since the first month or two of this administration, however, there’s nothing, nada, zip. BO seems to have accomplished what even the A listers in Hollywood could not - a blackout on coverage of him and his by the tabloids. scary.”

His syndicate owns the newspapers, tabloids included.

I apologize - I should have included the post I’m referring to.

[Kenny Bunk]

You had better switch to a better supermarket.

You got your "Larry the Limo Homo" stories. Then you got your Michelle "Puts foot down about other Woman" stories, proving that Barak isn't a homo after all. Then there's the whole thread of "Michelle vs Okrah" stories as the two super women mud wrestle for Barak's attentions.

Yes, our fearlessly ineligible leader has quite an opus of tabloid tales going for him.

What they say about hard leftists may be true of the Resident:

He loves Humanity. It’s people that he hates.

I am curious about one thing. The Big O went down and talked to these fisherman in the rain, cause apparently all the best fisherman only appear in the rain, so he could get the very best in soggy fisherman advice in how to take care of this “Oil Spill Problem” and how to select the best Asses to begin Kicking.

So what exactly is the fruit of Big O aqueous trip to the Creole version of Delphi? Has he kicked any asses? What sage actions did the Oracles of New Orleans lay on him that is now sweeping the waters clean? Surely in his completely not academic way he gained the the key to solving the rubik, did he not? So when do we get to see miraculous results?
Anyone?....Bueler?....

[investigateworld]

Dittos, and he will crack when the pressure is too great as there is nothing "there". Soros' et. al. will pull the plug when that happens.

(and speaking of plugs)

And I shudder when I think of President "Plugs" Biden.

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[rockinqsranch]

Mark Steyn is loved at the Rockin’ QS Ranch. He’s absolutely the best.

[Wolfstar]

Read this article yesterday. Superb analysis from a brilliant analyst/writer.

[skookum55]

Isn’t that the point of the article? He knows nothing of substance, nothing of value. Even the liberals, who worship style over substance, are frustrated with this empty suit. How much longer will the liberals tolerate his blatant incompetence before they start to investigate his conformance with the constitutional requirements of office?
