Harold Pinter is one of our leading fools - as Mark Steyn ably demonstrates. ;)

I can
so see and hear, in my mind, John Cleese up there ranting and raving. Steyn strikes again!

"'Death to the Great Santa'"...bwaaaaaaaaa...:D
To: MadIvan
This is the most effective satire I've read on any topic in years. Steyn's stature just keeps on growing.

The CIA has it right: the purple dinosaur is a commie and Tinky Winky must
die! But you know this story's a fake - there aren't seven Iraqi children left after our sanctions have starved all 350,247,362 of 'em. And their little dog Toto too...
To: Mercat
This is a joke, right?Right, but Steyn is also satirizing an actual sermon given a few days ago where the vicar did tell kids there is no Santa Claus.
Most C of E clergy are truly wacky today.

Dont you just hate it when a pathetic liberal tries to grandstand in order to get a VRCW Committee position? ;^)
Somebody should tell that fool that even though we are working in the Zietgeist stuff, seniority stands, and all current chairmen and structures remain unchanged.
BTW,Does Mark Steyn have an older brother?

Just then, his lovely wife, Antonia, arrived to say that The Daily Telegraph had rung and that they'd like to reprint his sermon. "That Right-wing Condi Rice fishwrap?" he scoffed. "If I appear in there, people will just write it off as a pathetic CIA psy-ops dirty trick to discredit the anti-Bush movement by making it look ridiculous. You don't think I'm that gullible, do you?" Of course Pinter's worst attack on Bush was published in the ET just this week.

Antonia Fraser writes good history -- ignore Pintersqueak.I agree, having read -- oh, very well, skimmed -- Mary Queen of Scots, The Wives of Henry VIII, and The Warrior Queens.

The best bit is when he describes how the Easter Bunny had his throat cut on the orders of Don Rumsfeld in 1983 and that he's now just Ferdinand Marcos in a protective rabbit suit. ROTFLMAO!

Great stuff! I'm not too familiar with Pinter, but this same spiel could have been ficticiously attributed to any number of equally dumbass Americans.

Yes, Steyn does a lot of satire. He's making fun of a vicar who told children there was no Santa, and an idiot columnist named Harold Pinter.
