Ah, jeez—I didn’t actually check the links, just took it that they were relevant. Since the Mandela service was a few weeks earlier and this was a holiday week column when NR is generally closed between Christmas and New Year’s, I’m going to guess that he already had that one submitted in the pipeline before the dust up, though really I’m of course just guessing. I think if the Mandela column were leading them to can Steyn, they just wouldn’t have posted it at all.
I just posted it because it isn’t on the Steyn site either. Had to find it on someone else’s site.
