Mark Steyn: ‘Trump is full of it, too. But at least he’s full of it in English rather than bullsh*t’

July 30, 2015 By Kathy Shaidle

Mark Steyn writes:

A significant section of the GOP base is sick of dialing Republican headquarters and hearing “Press 1 for Spanish, press 2 for consultant-approved claptrap, press 3 for artful straddle, press 4 for all disavowals of last year’s positions, press 5 for endless looped replays of John McCain’s amusing primary-season-only super-butch ‘Build the danged fence!’ commercial, press 6 for live audio feed of John McCain teaching Lindsey Graham how to say ‘Danged!’, press 7 if you know the Spanish for ‘Danged!’, press 8 to hear Jeb Bush say ‘No amnesty, not on my watch, no sirree!’, press 9 to hear Jeb Bush say ‘Viva la danged amnistía!’ If you wish someone to speak to you in non-forked-tongue English, please stay on the line and wait for an operator.”
