Everything old is new again
You have to read Mark Steyn's column from the beginning to appreciate its funniest line, but the observation that Barack Obama is something of a throwback can stand on its own:
Obama would be the first son of a British subject to serve as president since those slaveholding types elected in the early days of the republic. As some aggrieved black activist sniffed snootily on TV, Barack isn't really an "African American" – unless by "African American," you mean somebody whose parentage is half-American and half-African, and let's face it, no one would come up with so cockamamie a definition as that.The whole column is funny, of the "it only hurts when I laugh" school of humor.
JOHN adds: This may be Mark's funniest column ever. Don't miss it!
