Mark Steyn-War Pig on Washington Journal

From wiki
snip>
Steyn was born in Toronto, educated at King Edward's School, Birmingham, England, but dropped out of education at 16 and returned to Canada to work as a disc jockey. He is of mixed Jewish and Catholic descent on his father's side and Belgian Catholic on his mother's side; he was baptized a Catholic, confirmed an Anglican, and currently attends a small rural American Baptist Church. <2> His first break in journalism came when he was hired as the musical theatre critic for the then newly-established The Independent in London in 1986 (his first review was for The Phantom Of The Opera). In 1992 he became film critic for The Spectator (then owned by the Hollinger group). After a number of years writing predominantly about the arts, his portfolio widened to embrace political comment and he moved to The Daily Telegraph, a conservative-leaning London broadsheet (also then owned by the Hollinger group). Steyn became a close ally of former Canadian and Hollinger chief Conrad Black, and subsequently wrote for many of Black's newspapers.

He is unusual among political writers because of his lack of college education and his sideways move from arts criticism into punditry. This move may have been precipitated by a conflict between Steyn and Hollinger over his status in the mid-90s: Steyn's movie reviews temporarily disappeared from their pages and when he returned, Steyn had been made a senior contributing editor for Hollinger Inc. Publications, senior North American columnist for Britain's Telegraph Group, and North American editor for The Spectator.

a lot of guys running around without degrees anymore, all the while telling us we must have one!

This assclown, David Frum, Danielle Pletka, etc. They should not be in any position to influence American foreign policy in any way. They are not even Americans. The framers of the Constitution were rightly worried about this.

I would like to slap the snot right out of his smart assed smirking self. He thinks he is quite clever though doesn't he?

Freeper talking points all over the place. WTF is this? GOP propaganda...

An idiot IMO. He is on here every three or four months. I posted his bio in the my first post.

Every time the idiot writes a piece it gets posted at freerepublic (or did anyway) to vast appaulse from the inhabitants.
