Reasons to Read the British Press: Number one, the things they say that American papers don't. Here's Mark Steyn, in the Spectator, on Howard Dean's "Democratic wing of the Democratic party":
These are the people who are fed up being told by the slick consultants that they need to make themselves more indistinguishable from the Republicans, and then they wind up losing anyway, as they did in 2000 and 2002. At least when Bill Clinton sold out the Left on welfare and governed as an Eisenhower Republican, he was getting some terrific oral sex in return. The rest of the party feels it’s got nothing to show for pretending to be ‘centrist’, and the Howardly Lion is their hero.
