Every move the reps make is vilified and trashed by the MSM.

Raise money. Buy The New York Times. Put Mark Steyn in charge. Then act in decisive, when neccessary - aggressive manner.

The failure of terrorist prosecutions in Europe underlines how disastrous John Kerry's serve-'em-with-subpoenas approach would be; the sewer of the Oil-for-Food scandal and the attempts by Kofi Annan to castrate the investigation into it demonstrate yet again that there is no problem in the world today that can't be made worse by letting the U.N. have a hand in solving it...

The man exceeds himself.

Maybe one day his conscience will get him to attend the hearings he's paid to attend, but, for the moment, his conscience is more troubled by the story brought up by the senior Democratic obstructionist Joe Biden.

LOL!

My favorite quote:

"Apparently, the New York Times was stunned that their short list of Cardinal Gloria Steinem, Cardinal Rupert Everett and Cardinal Rosie O'Donnell were defeated at the last moment by some guy who came out of left field and isn't even gay or female but instead belongs to the discredited 'Catholic' faction of the Catholic Church."

He is at the top of his game with this article. When he's on, as he is on in this article, the man makes Ann Coulter look like George Will.

Republican voters understand this. Why don't Republican senators?

Are there any Republican Senators? Or just a bunch of Democrats who happen to have an R next to their names?

Steyn is one of the few journalists that can visualize the big picture and see how this all fits together. Thanks in part to Styen, for the first time Canadian Conservatives see that the ousting of Canadian Liberals is really part of a wider International Revolution that is far bigger and much more significant than catching a few crooked Quebec libs with thier hands in the cookie jar. This revolution is happening fast and terrifying for all Liberals and Socialists to face, having to witness the crumbling of 65 years of social manipulation in thier attempt to put a new face on mankinds basic natural laws that evolved over millions of years. Now you know why they see George W. Bush as "Scarey" and so they should

Per Miss Marple's excellent suggestion, just faxed article to Lugar with this para circled:

Britain's Daily Telegraph had an intriguing headline the other day: ''U.S. police force to recruit capuchin monkey for 'intelligence' work.'' Maybe when the Mesa, Ariz., SWAT team is through with the monkey in question, we could get him made chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He'd have his work cut out doing a worse job than Dick Lugar, the Republican senator who spent the last week getting walloped by a freak show alliance comprising (a) an opposition party whose foreign policy the electorate decided it was unable to take seriously and (b) jelly-spined GOP ''moderates'' who insist on taking it seriously. And so it was that John Bolton's nomination to the U.N. was derailed by this guy Voinovich.

Senator Richard Lugar
306 Hart SOB
Washington, DC 20510
Phone 1-202-224-4814
Fax 1-202-228-0360

Also faxed a letter last week and a letter today.

Lugar, it will be remembered, got together with Sam Nunn to be sure our homeless Russian friends have enough to eat and someone to pay for their nuclear waste and stockpile security, freeing up their rubles for development of the new Topol-M road-mobile and sub-launched MIRVed ICBM with which to target us.

Then for him to constantly snipe at our president from behind Howdy Doody's choppers (and with Howdy Doody's gray matter) is perhaps a capuchin monkey too far.

As much as it pains me to say this, Lugar is a walking advertisement for term limits. I grew up really liking the man.

Ha! I have always thought he looked like Howdy Doody, too!

I would have been happy if he had retired and let someone else run for his seat. But NOOOO, he had to hang on and now I am totally disgusted with him. Bah!

Phil and all: the monkey story was posted, toasted and roasted here on FR. Post 70 links to the department site that debunks the story as a myth, also copied below.

I can't even manage to laugh as usual at Styen's sterling prose. I'm too pissed. I wanna see some white hot anger, indignation and ass kicking from the pubbies on Foreign Relations, and now.
