THE SHAGGED SHEEP [Best Steyn Ever!]
SteynOnline ^ | November 30, 2008 | The Incomparable Mark Steyn

Posted on 01/27/2011 3:02:59 AM PST by Lonesome in Massachussets

This is a long piece but it does have underage sex and bestiality in it. So enjoy!

The other day I had an e-mail from M J Murphy, who blogs as Big City Lib, saying only this:

I think you owe Dr. Miller an apology.

There followed a link to a post called Steyn Gets Punked By 28-Year Old Literary Hoax:

Remember the kerfuffle between Mark Steyn and journalism professor Dr. John Miller from a few weeks back? Dr. Miller accused Steyn of taking material for "America Alone" from illegitimate sources like the infamous Little Green Book: Sayings of the Ayatollah Khomeini.* [*UPDATE: M J Murphy has quietly revised this paragraph, and so the airbrushing begins]

Actually, I don’t think Dr Miller has accused me of any such thing, though I admit, given his shifting accusations, that I’m no longer quite sure what he’s accusing me of. Just to recap, said “kerfuffle” arises from this passage in a review I wrote for Maclean’s of Oriana Fallaci’s final book The Force Of Reason:

It's old but I do not recall seeing before. Really not to be missed. Read the whole thing, I think it's not only worth it, but essential.

I've been off Steyn for a while, thinking he didn't have anything new to say. This is great. imho.

Probably a good idea to put your coffee down while reading too, remember that!

“If I were celebrated toilet photographer Warren Kinsella or leading Canadian Internet Nazi Lucy Warman, I’d sue. But I’m not. Nor, despite a flying visit to the Falklands and a couple of wet weekends in Wales, have I ever been attracted to sheep-shagging. But I imagine it feels a bit like dealing with Messrs Miller, Murphy and the Law R Cool kids: No matter how often you roger them senseless, they keep on bleating.”

He. is. HILARIOUS!

I love Mark Steyn, and this is one of the best ever, for sure. It is long, but be sure to take time to read the whole thing. This case just illustrates liberalism in a nutshell.

Unlike Signora Fallaci, I can’t claim face time with the Ayatollah. But I’ve read his writings in the scholarly translations, and cross-referenced them with the original Farsi, and I am familiar with his rulings on camel sweat, touching one’s beard after ejaculation, defecating in a dead-end street without the permission of its owner, and whether you can divorce your child bride before she’s begun menstruating. It’s unfortunate that the most influential Muslim of the late 20th century is a barbaric nutjob, but it happens to be the case.

Wow...!

I enjoy the don't-eat-your-sexual-partner stuff as much as the next infidel, but the challenge presented by Islam is not that the cities of the Western world will be filling up with sheep-shaggers. If I had to choose, I'd rather Mohammed Atta was downriver in Egypt hitting on the livestock than flying through the windows of Manhattan skyscrapers. But he’s not.

LOL!

Mark is an extraordinary treasure - a guy with a wonderful sense of wit and humor, coupled with great writing and verbal abilities, and sharp as a tack. No one can match him.

The problem with Steyn is that it’s almost impossible to embellish or improve on him. The only comments you can make are “wow”!.

Thank you for the heads up.

I had never heard his voice before; last time he filled in I thought "who is this guy; he is crazy and brilliant at the same time!"

I can't get enough of him when he fills in for Rush. He speaks like it is his last day at work.

I dont think this is a General Chat topic.

This is an article about the lies of today and manipulation of information.

Recently people were told in the MSM that Maine’s governor Lepage told the NAACP to “kiss his butt.”

He actually told critics who said he was not bowing enought to special interest groups to kiss his butt.

The media lies

Daily.

Leftists lie

Constantly.

Let’s not chat about it.
