But…But…Stevie! I thought Canadians weren’t supposed to care about the transgressions of their politicians. Hell, they weren’t supposed to care about Bruce Carson, his disgraced legal career, fraud charges and his saucey ladies of the night. So, why are Canadians supposed to care whether or not Jack Layton decided to have fun at a massage parlour? Oh yeah! (smacks head) Silly me! I forgot; it’s ok when Harpercons do it, but if anyone else does it, condemn them to death! Got it now.
Good grief! Sun News hasn’t been on a month and look at the trouble they’re getting themselves into. So much for “Hard news! Straight Talk” (or did I get that backwards?) mantra. Something tells me that when Sun News is no more, folks like Brian Lilley and the like won’t be able to find jobs even at the Conservative Postmedia.
This must be STRAIGHT FROM THE TORY PLAYBOOK because I saw it used during the mayoral election in my hometown of Sudbury.
On the FRIDAY BEFORE THE ELECTION, the Conservatives used an ‘ANONYMOUS source’ to release some vague & ancient piece of information about their labour opponent through the Conservative-run SUN MEDIA outlet. Then the OPP racket squad was called in to investigate the leak/make it disappear.
This LEAVES NO TIME to actually investigate the SMEAR. It should be illegal. Why does the media enable this?
