He jumped further up in my estimation with an article in the Wall Street Journal during the Clinton nastiness titled "In Defense of Tabloid Sleaze," in which he took his fellow journalists to task for their faux outrage and curious lack of curiousity about "the most powerful man in the world being caught with his pants around his ankles."
A later WSJ column, "My Life is Not a Game" pointed out that all the machinations in Washington, and elsewhere, have real-world consequences that affect real people- like Steyn and his family- and were not merely some silly game of "gotchas" put on for the amusement of the chattering classes on TV.
Murtha has lost it. He's demented. Lieberman - there's something likeable about him.
The Defeaticrats were against the benchmarks before they were for them.They take a position. Change their position. Lie about ever having had different positions. And the media works with them hand-in-glove. And a few people on Fox News call them on it, in a disorganized way... but they're drowned out by the overall tone of Fox News these days, which is to be more balanced than dedicated to getting the story out.
This is the biggest story since WWII. How a political party and the media are conspiring to lie to the American people. And though there are plenty of people writing about it, like Steyn, and a few people talking about it on Fox, on the whole, this story is being covered up. Certainly on network TV its being covered up. Completely.
It will disappear down the memory hole. History departments in every university in the Western World (not to mention the Arab World) are busy rewriting history. It's a work-in-progress. The whole sordid history of the defeaticrats which includes their loud denunciation of benchmarks followed by their loud braying demand for benchmarks (after the benchmarks were already achieved), is being covered up by the media and rewritten by the historians.
It's a conspiracy. Not centrally led, but a conspiracy of like-mindedness. The biggest conspiracy of the modern era.
How is it a secret conspiracy if the libs lost the 2004 elections? What about 2006? Think they will make any gains? Fact is, 50.5% of the people know what's going on and vote against the Dem party. After Iraq has settled down, we'll get down to domestic business. We know who are the internal enemies are.
Good point. I guess I was over-generalizing. What I described is happening, but a lot of people know it's happening, as you point out. Thanks for the correction.
It it were not for Lieberman's vote against impeaching Clinton I would be tempted to think that Senator Lieberman might be the only principled man remaining in the entire Senate.
Maybe he is still growing up, and has learned that principled people can handle the loneliness.
(MWTH thinks to himself: "listen to me. The only Senator I can say one decent thing about is a Democrat")
The fact that John Kerry made it through the election without releasing his service record and came close to winning is disturbing. They proppedhim up as a Hawk despite him drafting bills in 1993 that called for the freezing of military pay for five years and early retirement of 80,000 NCO's. That would have virtually destroyed the military and it was suppressed.
Mark Steyn is a joy to read. There was another article posted on FR yesterday that was sheer joy.

I'd invite you to look more closely at Senator Coburn of Oklahoma.
Steyn always manages to produce a nice turn of phrase, doesn't he? One reason he's enjoyable to read.
The Republicans have a big tent that holds everyone from Ronnie to Rudy.
I enjoyed reading that piece, and am always ready for the truth of what he writes so eloquently. I loved his new word, Demoquits, in the other article. We really need to popularize that.
