Steyn On The Blob
June 29th, 2004 - 11:52 am
Note to self: Self, don’t ever annoy Mark Steyn. The aftermath isn’t pretty:
Bush has always been the issue for Moore. On September 11 itself, his only gripe was that the terrorists had targeted New York and DC instead of Texas or, indeed, my beloved New Hampshire: “They did not deserve to die. If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him! Boston, New York, DC and the plane’s destination of California
Michael Moore is guilty of what people call “lying”. Not distortion, exaggeration, or context-bending. L-Y-I-N-G.
Among his claims in F-9/11:
Bush lost the election and was appointed by the Supreme Court.
The war in Afghanistan was only conducted so an oil pipeline could be built.
Airport security is intentionally lax regarding matches on planes because Bush was paid off by big tobacco (no, I’m not making that up…amazingly).
Does this sound like a person remotely in touch with reality?
God, Steyn is just the fucking man. Can I say that?
As a persuasive writer, Steyn is in a league with Paine, in my opinion. He’s fantastic. I don’t always agree with him, but I always find myself wanting to when I’m done reading his stuff.
Steyn has an incredibly fertile brain. I don’t know how he does it. He’s a riot.
