Put This in the Steyn Time Capsule

On his worst day, Mark Steyn is merely the best political commentator on the planet. On certain days, he outdoes himself. Today is one of those days.

Steyn's contribution to today's Chicago Sun-Times has more brilliant ripostes than is legally allowable. We can't even begin to offer pull quotes. Every sentence is a pull quote.

Of course, he had the subject that a political columnist prays for: a signal event, the Iraqi parliamentary elections, the significance of which is completely missed or mistaken by one entire side of the political spectrum, namely, the left. But Steyn rises even beyond this task.

Follow the link, gentle readers, to see what political writing should be.
