Tony Blankley supports the Danes, hopes they stay in Denmark.

Breathless update! Tony Blankley writes in to set the record straight — unlike those other immigrants, Tony was pronounced A-OK by Uncle Sam!

You correctly cite my opposition to illegal immigration, but chastise me for not then deporting myself back to England–from whence I came. Your error, pardonable though it may be, is to assume I am an illegal immigrant. Otherwise, of course, your entire comment would be demagoguery of the rankest order–which heaven forfend it surely couldn’t be.

We point out only that Mr. Buchanan seeks a much tighter quota even on so-called “legal” immigration, and he surely would warn us of the dangers to our shared Euro-Xtian-Caucasian culture posed by this tea-drinking, chimbley-sweeping, bespoke-suited terror.

Blankley’s full, charming, Katherine Harris-referencing email, after the jump. Read it aloud in your best James Mason impression!

Significantly less breathless update: Eric Pfeiffer writes in to assure us that he is decidedly not an “all-around nice guy.” Don’t you people have a money-losing paper to put out?
