Bad Queen Barack and His Court Jester (i.e. The Pimp With the Limp)

Mark Steyn writes:

As a Canadian, I’m interested to see that America has belatedly adopted the divided responsibilities of the Westminster system. Proceeding from the Pimp with the Limp show to Letterman to Beyoncé and back again, Barack Obama makes a perfectly adequate (if somewhat cheesy and downmarket) ceremonial queen.

Don't know who the Pimp with the Limp is? FYI, he shows up, gimpy leg and all, in Steyn's Friday column.

Update: Steyn has a great line today about the curiously incurious media (incurious when it comes to Obama, that is; they tend to perk up considerably--and get really pissed off--when Mitt Romney so much as clears his throat). Says Steyn re these lemmings:

Elderly Soviet propagandists must be wondering why they wasted their time jamming radio transmitters and smashing printing presses when they could just have sent everyone to Columbia Journalism School.   

Since they hew, Soviet media-style, to the official pro-Obama government line, I suggest we call 'em "Tassholes."
