We are cursed, as the Chinese say, to live in "interesting times", about which there is much to say - the Iran deal, for example, or the Allaku Akbar guy running amok in Chattanooga. Yet the dead sloth that is the Republican Party has finally roused itself to spend the last 48 hours hammering Donald Trump for impugning the honor of John McCain.
As his criminal-immigrant surge demonstrates, Trump's support comes almost entirely from Americans who feel the political class passes its time talking about nothing that matters to them. So feel free to spend the weekend talking about John McCain. QED, as Trump is unlikely to say.
On the matter of McCain, in June 1998 the Senator stood up to address a Republican fundraising meeting: "You think that was a tasteless joke?" he began, referring to the previous speaker's closing Viagra gag. "Listen to this one." He then told the following side-splitter:

OMG “the dead sloth that is the Republican Party”
How does he do it?
Nailed the GOPe perfectly!
Steyn is beyond gifted.
Amazing!

5 sentences that sum it all up. Perfect!
“Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because Janet Reno is her father.
Good one.
Rick Perry and the rest of the fainting ladies of the Gop Amnesty cartel need to just retire ,
Mark Steyn is one of the most gifted and talented thinkers/writers alive today.
I remember when Clinton was first taking office and all of the media were going on and on about Chelsea’s looks (negatively). I was appalled. Clinton was not my candidate BUT A KID SHOULD BE OFF LIMITS!!! Even as an adult, that is plain tacky. Of course it was equally tacky to make fun of Linda Tripp’s looks. The people bashing Trump have absolutely no room to talk.
He is so gifted. He has an amazing mind.
I'm still laughing ... and crying.
Thanks! LMAO choked on spit,
Bfl
Mark Steyn ping.
Yes, he is. This article nails it and is very funny to boot.
He is one of a kind. I’ve been a fan for years and I know exactly when I got hooked. Febuary, 2005.
“Musically speaking, I’m not really a big fan of Francis Scott Key’s Star-Spangled Banner with its awkward prosody and melisma-clogged penultimate line, but the lyric does contain one big idea - that a “land of the free” has to be also, at some level, a “home of the brave”.” - Mark Steyn
WOW....he nailed it.
My dream.....Mark Steyn becomes the press secretary for the next Repub. president.
