The Superbowl of Superholes [Steyn on McCain]
Steynonline ^ | July 20 2015 | Mark Steyn

We are cursed, as the Chinese say, to live in "interesting times", about which there is much to say - the Iran deal, for example, or the Allaku Akbar guy running amok in Chattanooga. Yet the dead sloth that is the Republican Party has finally roused itself to spend the last 48 hours hammering Donald Trump for impugning the honor of John McCain.

As his criminal-immigrant surge demonstrates, Trump's support comes almost entirely from Americans who feel the political class passes its time talking about nothing that matters to them. So feel free to spend the weekend talking about John McCain. QED, as Trump is unlikely to say.

On the matter of McCain, in June 1998 the Senator stood up to address a Republican fundraising meeting: "You think that was a tasteless joke?" he began, referring to the previous speaker's closing Viagra gag. "Listen to this one." He then told the following side-splitter:

Amazing!

” Forty years ago, John McCain was a war hero. Since then he’s mostly been an asshole. The problem is you can’t out-asshole Donald Trump. McCain is in the Superbowl of assholery and hopelessly outmatched. He was doing assholery-as-usual last week, sneering at Trump’s supporters as “the crazies”.”

It is because McCain isn’t a conservative.

“Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?

Because Janet Reno is her father.

Mark just buried that evil old crooked gold-digger and the rest of the Gop elites in one finely tuned thrashing.

Rick Perry and the rest of the fainting ladies of the Gop Amnesty cartel need to just retire ,

Mark Steyn is one of the most gifted and talented thinkers/writers alive today.

I remember when Clinton was first taking office and all of the media were going on and on about Chelsea’s looks (negatively). I was appalled. Clinton was not my candidate BUT A KID SHOULD BE OFF LIMITS!!! Even as an adult, that is plain tacky. Of course it was equally tacky to make fun of Linda Tripp’s looks. The people bashing Trump have absolutely no room to talk.

"like a genteel dowager on the 'bus trying to avoid catching the eye of the gibbering derelict, the press decided not to notice"

I'm still laughing ... and crying.

...So, when the Republican establishment spends two news cycles huffing about theamour propre of a wealthy career politician, they're only reinforcing Trump's critique: that the GOP is a party of "losers" and "failures" obsessed with peripheral trivia nobody else cares about, while ignoring everything that's killing your future...maybe now the Republican bigshots could drop the queeny hysteria and begin talking about something—anything—that matters?

I can't follow that! Mark Steyn, ladies and gentlemen!

He is one of a kind. I’ve been a fan for years and I know exactly when I got hooked. Febuary, 2005.

“Musically speaking, I’m not really a big fan of Francis Scott Key’s Star-Spangled Banner with its awkward prosody and melisma-clogged penultimate line, but the lyric does contain one big idea - that a “land of the free” has to be also, at some level, a “home of the brave”.” - Mark Steyn
