According to my inspired compatriot Kathy Shaidle, Donald Trump is President Sinatra:
Here are two paradigmatic New Yorkers who brawled their way to the top; tabloid liaisons here, a trio of devoted children there; men of eye-watering generosity (you've heard the "we've paid off your mortgage" story by now) and spleen (the name of Sinatra's record company, Reprise, was pronounced with a long "i," as in "reprisal").
Note, too, the almost belligerent philo-Semitism: In 1948, as a favor to a stranger he met in a bar, Sinatra couriered a million dollars cash to a ship full of arms earmarked for Israel, docked at a New York pier; Trump, dead set on making Mar-a-Lago nonrestricted, taunted Palm Beach's town council by sending them copies of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner...
[Sinatra would] also recognize Trump as another swaggering, short-fused, thin-skinned alpha, worthy of his fealty, and who'd be more loyal than John F., too. Sinatra's not around, alas.
Or is he?
Who needs a Sinatra to sing, spectacular as that would be, when we've got one taking the Oath of frickin' Office?

Could have been a great article if he had never compared Hillary to Angie Dickinson, who was one hot woman.
In the article, someone (not Steyn) likens Obama to Dean Martin. Dean Martin was NEVER, EVER condescending. He also wasn’t so insanely egocentric. HORRIBLE comparison.
Serenity Now!
After work, I might play some Julie London, that’s good for serenity.
The drop-dead gorgeous Angie Dickinson once famously said, “You know my story. I’m pretty.”
"Hillary Clinton is Angie Dickinson. Like Angie, Hillary is a stand-up broad. Well, except for the standing-up part..."
Not to mention, “I Did It My Way” works for Trump too.
Obama’s more like Jerry Lewis... goofy looking and more well-liked in foreign countries than in his native land.
(sigh) Time to do some math...Angie Dickinson is 85 now.
Oh well....
