Making fun of right-wing neocon pundits and their tough guy delusions has become something of an internet cottage industry. It's a market I'm not about to jump into, but when you see something like this, you gotta take a swing.

"Mark Steyn is exactly the guy you want on your side in a street fight."

Uh...really?

Chris Hitchens I could see. He's a boozer and British which, along with being completely insane, could be assets in a back alley tussle. But Steyn? I'm sorry, but doughy-faced musical theatre aficionados are not the kind you want at your back in a brawl, no matter how scruffy their appearance or strong their links to organized crime.

In a street fight, the only possible use for Mark Steyn is as a human shield.
