To put it another way, Mark Steyn is a fucking nutcase for writing this, and the editors of the Telegraph are a bunch of idiots for publishing it. The real coup de grace of this whole affair is that Mr. Steyn ends this paranoid lunatic fable in some crap story about how he was standing by his friend while he became a Canadian citizen, so, you see, he’s not anti-immigrant or anything, just sort of a crusty, straight-shooting maverick with a heart of gold. Spare me. Spare me the song and dance about the sensitive puppy-dog man with the gruff exterior. Pardon my misplaced sensitivity, but you’re a God damned asshole.
