Paragraph of the Day: Mark Steyn on the Immigration Bill’s Defeat
The One Man Content Provider came through as usual in his Sunday Chicago Sun-Times op-ed, opening with this paragraph:
On the eve of Independence Day, the people of this great republic declared their independence from the United States Senate under the stirring battle-cry, “No legislation without explanation!” The geniuses who’d cooked up the “comprehensive” immigration bill’s “grand bargain” behind the scenes in the pork-filled rooms had originally planned to ram it through in 48 hours before Memorial Day. And, right to the end, the bipartisan Emirs-for-life of Incumbistan gave the strong impression they regarded it as an affront to be required by the impertinent whippersnappers of the citizenry to address the actual content of the legislation.
It gets even better from there. Along the way, the needle is placed ever so nicely into the likes of Harry Reid, “Trent Lotthorn,” Arlen Specter, and Lindsey Graham.
Wow, fantastic - and spot on article. Thanks for posting!
