It was his lowest moment - or lowest moments - of his career. In several Rush shows and in many NRO columns he slammed Newt mercilessly - seemingly oblivious to the fact that the alternatives were Mitt and Santorum - both extraordinarily flawed by Steyn’s own standards.
Its like for about two months he totally forgot that we had only a couple alternatives, and he trashed the one who probably agrees with him the most often and the only one with the talent to make fun of liberals the way Steyn does It was out of body.
I absolutely agree with your take on this. I’ve always loved listening to Mark Steyn when he fills in for Rush. The man is so articulate, and simply brilliant. He has a unique ability to communicate wisdom with a large dose of wit. He went so off the rails with his Newt bashing, I made it a point not to listen to him for a few months. He’s lost some luster in my eyes, and it will take more time to for him to regain my complete respect.
