Mark Steyn: You Could Test Putin and Kim Jong Un and They’d Be More Native American Than Sen. Warren

RUSH EXCERPT:

STEYN: “That is interesting, “The Boston Globe” is saying to Elizabeth Warren, you have to know when not to run. And this is the paper that has wanted her to run until she took — until she got had faked into taking the DNA test that showed that she was 1/1,024th native American. Which is less Native American than the average. I mean, you could Kim Jong un, Vladimir Putin, and they would be more than Odessa in 1852 and got lucky with one of the porters. Anybody is more native American. And what is fascinating about this is that Elizabeth Warren was a test on the limits of Democrat identity politics, because the recent presidential candidates have been sold on identity politics, but in rather strange ways, so Barack Obama is an African-American, but he has nothing to do with the black experience or civil rights. He is black just because his father happen to be a British subject born in colonial Kenya. Barack Obama was actually the first child of British subjects to be president. I believe since Andrew Jackson. So we tried to get himself in on the colonial thing. Obama said his stepgrandfather in Indonesia had died fighting Dutch soldiers in the struggle for Independence. In fact, it turned out that his stepgrandfather died when he fell off a chair while changing the drapes. That is not a joke. That is actually true.”
