A public confession: I have long had an intellectual crush on Mark Steyn. (My husband is okay with it–just as long as he gets to rave about the gorgeous Kim Serafin without me complaining.)

Anyway, I call the attention of all fellow Steyn lovers to this flaccid, attempted hit piece on Mr. Steyn. All you need to know about the article is that the writer, Boston Phoenix media critic Dan Kennedy, 1) turned to bottom-of-the-barrel Demo-stenographer Joe Conason for comment on Steyn’s writing ability (”He’s kind of a glib guy”); 2) thinks any conservative commentator who isn’t George Will, David Brooks, or Paul Gigot is a “right-wing carny barker;” and 3) called Steyn a “second-rate Maureen Dowd.”

Oh, yes, he did.

If you want to get your “toxic” creative juices flowing and let this second-rate Joe Conason know what you think about his attack on Steyn, write him at dkennedy@phx.com.

The posters at Lucianne.com are already having a ball.
