Mark Steyn’s column gives overnight copyeditors conniptions (sp?)

March 20, 2010 By admin

Looks like my old copyeditor at the Toronto Star has moved to Philadelpia…

Barack Obama, a man who not so long ago had time to jet across the world to make dreary Olympics-losing speeches about how his kind of town Chicago is [CORRECT], has now postponed his presidential visits to Indonesia and Australia in order to make sure “health care” passes this week – or, at any rate, is “deemed” to have passed, which is apparently the way a quarter-millennium-old constitutional republic does things.

Obama and Pelosi are strongarming swing-state Congressmen into taking one for the deem [CORRECT]. 

***
I wouldn’t [CORRECT] those “deem” puns if I were you.

Just ask Jonathan Kay…
