THE IOWA STRAW POLL
BACHMANN QUOTES STEYN ON "MEET THE PRESS"
Here's how Iowa's victor responded to a question from David Gregory:
MR. GREGORY: What about extending jobless benefits for people who are out of work? Do you think that's a necessary step?
REP. BACHMANN: I think it would be very difficult for us to do because we, frankly, don't have the money. I mean, that's, that's the bottom line in the United States. We are now, according to Mark Steyn, he wrote a book called "After America," and in his book he says we are the brokest nation in history. He said we have gone from being the biggest creditor nation to the biggest debtor nation in a very short period of time.
MR. GREGORY: So, so no on extending jobless benefits.
We don't think Mr Gregory has read the book. Or heard of it.

~If you're a TV or radio host and you want to get boffo ratings like Ezra Levant and the Sun News Network, don't kill your audience with the same old dreary "experts". Get the guy whose book explains both the downgrade and the London riots: Contact Regnery's publicity department to book an interview with Steyn.
Andrew Breitbart tweets of Mark's new book: "May puke I'm so happy." Chuck Colson writes that "Steyn penned something that stopped me in my tracks"; "lucid, compelling, and refreshingly crisp," says the Ink Slinger; and over on our Facebook page Richard Malson enthuses: "After America is f***in' Steynamite!!" - and, if you're in Canada, don't forget: there's a big excerpt of After America in the current issue of Maclean's on sale now.
