Steyn: As I Was Saying…

October 9, 2016 Posted by Aristophanes Steyn Gold Mine No Comments

Steyn’s finally back from the dead. Or, Europe (close enough). Today’s gold from the Steyn mine:

The problem is you can’t out-asshole Donald Trump… Personally, I’d like it if Calvin Coolidge were on the ticket, or indeed the Marquess of Salisbury. But they’ve decided to sit out Campaign 2016, so one must take what one can get. And a citizenry that votes for an asshole is less deluded than one that votes for a messiah …and, come to that, less damaging to republican virtue than voting for the previous guy’s wife or brother.

Read it all here.

Speaking of dead: to all those who thought I was, the reports of my death—like Hillary’s emails—have been greatly evaporated.  Although after this election, I may very well wish for the sweet release of death. Or, Canada (close enough). Kidding. I would never go to Canada.
