Steyn on leftist media, Nanny Bloomberg, 9-11, and the Islamic threat

Here is a transcript of Hugh Hewitt interviewing Mark Steyn on 9-11 and the Republican debate on MSNBC and Politico. Steyn on Brian Williams: "They should have whacked that ace back down his gullet until these guys realize that if they’re going to ask these stupid questions again, they’re just going to make themselves look fools in front of the American people."

Steyn on no clergy being allowed at Nanny Bloomberg's 9-11 ceremonies: There will be "eunuch celebrations." "They will be equivalist and mired in a kind of cultural relativism that says the real lesson we need to learn from 9/11 is that we need far more multicultural outreach."

Is it the goat herder in Pakistan we need to worry about, or the guy who has been educated in the West? Steyn: "But it’s the most Western, the most educated Muslims who’ve been exposed, very often, to Western higher education, like Mohammed Atta, like Osama bin Laden at summer school at Oxford, like the guy from the London School of Economics, who was involved in the Daniel Pearl beheading. It’s the most Westernized, middle class Muslims – the Panty Bomber, he basically lived in a mansion. And that’s, I think that’s the real challenge here, that it’s the intersection of the Western Islam, and we’re still not on top of that ten years after 9/11."
