Old MacDonald had a wank
I, L. Jymn Parrett, almost spit a mouthful of Cazadores over my PC reading that headline from Postmedia. The lede is just as good: “Dirty tricks are nothing new in politics. Sometimes they’re even part of the fun.”
I realize that modern journalism is like reading a cereal box; it is mostly advertising, for a political party (= Conservatives) in the case of journos, with some wow and pow but little of substance other than the sugar inside. Delicious. And this MacDonald guy really puts the pop in his wankery.
I can forgive the headline. Those are usually written by some other flack. But that lede. Well, that’s a thing of beauty. It’s the rest of the article that stinks. It’s another one of those false equivalence commercials for Stephen Harper. It’s also another one of those dirty-fucking-hippies-of-that-damned-social-media-are-to-blame whines, which seems to be the, yawn, go-to argument these days from old withered Con hacks.
And, oh yeah, Vikileaks = RoboCon. Gotta hammer that crooked meme one more time. Hey L. Ian, got any more Conservative talking points you can shove into one article?
Here’s the essence of MacDonald’s treatise: it doesn’t matter what the Conservatives did because, well, they’re the Conservatives and they can do what they want so fuck you.
Rex Murphy would be proud, not to mention Lee Atwater, Donald Segretti and Karl Rove. They’re L. Ian MacDonald’s kind of people. And Stephen Harper’s kind too, I suspect.

Who the hell is this wanker who looks too decrepit to actually, you know, wank?
He’s with the child pornographers and is actually viewing a child porn video in this photo
Oh the might makes right argument?
Well I wonder what L. Ian MacDonald thought of the whole World War 2 thingy… you know from what his generation – fought and DIED for … fighting against the concept that might makes right?
Oh that thing… oh just don’t look at that…sort of the same arguments coming out of Fort PMO?
Or the Five Stages of Grief?
Anger – comes spewing everyday from the Harperites….
Nothing to see here… denial..
arguing, (you guys did it!)…
bargaining (oh we will turn over all our documents to Elections Canada – but you guys have no proof– and then they won’t turn over anything to EC – they just say they will…. )
Next steps are depression (which we have been experiencing since the days of the CPC minority govt…
Then acceptance – -when the bloody courts will call them to heel. They seem to be the only power branch that might.. just might – call them to the principals office.
But I am being highly optimistic. Courts are also know to white-wash to protect the Establishment… (see dirty fucking hippy argument above).
We gots the power and we are gonna fuck dem hippies now… cuz… is essentially what this guy and Harper are doing…
I’m with Chuck D’ – “Fight the Power!”
