He and Spengler are two of the clearest writers of our time. Good writing is CLEAR writing. There is so much affected nonsense pouring forth from blogs. I hate to diss brilliant Steyn, but he shoots himself in the foot by indulging his inner ham all the time.
Of course, VDH got Trump all wrong at the start. Lucky for us he has come around.
As for Steyn, I love to watch him on TV, but, as you say, I wish he would use his humor more sparingly in his written work.
