"Heigh-ho. The Iraq election's over, the media did their best to ignore it, and, judging from the rippling torsos I saw every time I switched on the TV, the press seem to reckon that that gay cowboy movie was the big geopolitical event of the last week, if not of all time. Yes, yes, I know: They're not, technically, cowboys, they're gay shepherds, but even Hollywood isn't crazy enough to think it can sell gay shepherds to the world. And the point is, even if I was in the mood for a story about two rugged insecure men who find themselves strangely attracted to each other in a dark transgressive relationship that breaks all the rules, who needs Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger when you've got Howard Dean and Abu Musad al-Zarqawi? Yee-haw!"
Boy, that one must sting. Ridicule forever! No mercy! Yee-haw!
Steyn's not saying anything we don't already know, but he has a helluva gift for saying it.
For over forty years I've been saying that all attempts at liberal PC crappola has to be met with mockery and derision. Steyn is the best at it on the scene today.
Steyn ping for you, Pokey.
Great article! Too bad the media is still ignoring it in favor of stories about all the possibilities of things that can still go wrong.
