I watched him on C-SPAN, too. and he was most impressive, and like my son, has more sense than the elites, and they both have a better understanding of history and knowledge of current events, something that college profs (that neither suffered thru) and MSM are sorely missing...rto

I, for one, would like to see Mark have his own radio commentary show. Be nice if he took calls, but just listening to his prose is great. My wife and I always enjoy when he's on Hugh's radio show.

‘Give the guy a break,’ I said back home. ‘He’s advertising his moral virtue, not calling for action. If Rumsfeld were to say, “Free Tibet? Jiminy, what a swell idea! The Third Infantry Division go in on Thursday”, the bumper-sticker crowd would be aghast.’

Another gem from Steyn. Master of the english language and turn of phrase.

It’s a real nuisance to have to pencil in the Kurdish guy, and the Kurdish opposition guy, and the Sunni rejectionist, and the Sunni accommodationist and the secular Shiite and the theocrat Shiite; and that’s just for Kirkuk municipal council.

The laugh-out-loud line of the piece for me this time...

[aculeus]

Bump.

[Capriole]

Thanks for obeying the Mark Steyn Rule.

What does he mean, his wife is "not terribly political"? He must divorce her immediately and marry me!

the most sinister of all the neocons, the big bad Wolfowitz, the man whose name started with a scary animal and ended Jewishly.

Kuuuh-ZING!!! (And not at Mr. Wolfowitz)

[Irishguy]

Mark is just awesome! Witty, vicious and insightful all at the same time!

"But for those of us on the arrogant unilateralist side of things, that’s not how it works. ‘FREE AFGHANISTAN’. Done. ‘FREE IRAQ’. Done. Given the paintwork I pull off every time I have to change the sticker, it might be easier for the remainder of the Bush presidency just to go around with ‘FREE [INSERT YOUR FETID TOTALITARIAN BASKET-CASE HERE]’. Not in your name? Don’t worry, it’s not."

As good as it gets. Mark Steyn, God bless him, is the only commentator who consistently nails the euroweenies and the american "left" for their craven hypocrisy: their accommodationist attitudes toward all these brutal islamofascist dictators is predicated on a thoroughly repugnant racial, ethnic & religious paternalism: 'Arabs (those mindless little sand monkeys)can't be expected to govern themselves in a civilized way.How dare this silly, intellectually impaired american cowboy even ask us to strain our imaginations contemplating such a ludicrous thing!' Scratch the BBC/CNN/AFP's reflexively condescending, blatantly patronizing attitudes towards the infamous "arab street" and their skepticism of the pie-in-the-sky notion that folks in the Middle East might actually enjoy, given the opportunity, excercising the same freedoms the paleocolonialists at these propaganda outlets take for granted, and what you've got is as baldy racist as anything David Duke has ever even tried to get away with claiming. Soft bigotry of low expectations? Meet stone-cold prejudice of no expectations. Scratch a little further and what inexorably bubbles up these days from the Blame America First crowd in London, Brussels, Berlin & their slavish devotees on the American "left" is a nasty strain of anti-semitism as overtly virulent as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion anyday, whether or not Abe Foxman lives long enough to finally get it. Mark Steyn really & truly is the only guy who's calling these twits with their phony "bumper-sticker" compassion for third-worlders what they really are.

big bad Wolfowitz, the man whose name started with a scary animal and ended Jewishly.

That's funny.

The other day I found myself, for the umpteenth time, driving in Vermont behind a Kerry/Edwards supporter whose vehicle also bore the slogan ‘FREE TIBET’. It must be great to be the guy with the printing contract for the ‘FREE TIBET’ stickers. Not so good to be the guy back in Tibet wondering when the freeing thereof will actually get under way. For a while, my otherwise not terribly political wife got extremely irritated by these stickers, demanding to know at a pancake breakfast at the local church what precisely some harmless hippy-dippy old neighbour of ours meant by the slogan he’d been proudly displaying decade in, decade out: ‘But what exactly are you doing to free Tibet?’ she demanded. ‘You’re not doing anything, are you?’ ‘Give the guy a break,’ I said back home. ‘He’s advertising his moral virtue, not calling for action. If Rumsfeld were to say, “Free Tibet? Jiminy, what a swell idea! The Third Infantry Division go in on Thursday”, the bumper-sticker crowd would be aghast.’

Brilliant.

Thanks Pokey. It's fun to watch the Martin Kettles of the world tie themselves in knots trying to acknowledge reality without admitting they were simply wrong - all the while complaining that Bush won't admit his mistakes, which were miniscule compared to theirs.

A better description of self-righteousness can not be found.

ROTFLMAO!

It would have been possible to find a friendly authoritarian Musharraf type and install him on one of Saddam’s solid gold toilets...

LOL!
