"Oh yea, Fox has proven you can get good looking girls with a brain and you don't have to go with the PC grey-haired hags or ethnic quotas to pretend you are professional."

Yet another example of the fine arguments we can expect from the self-appointed defenders of CBC-oppressed "real Canadians".

"Judge Roiy Bean", whoever you are, I say long live your right to be an ignorant, offensive blowhard on the public stage; not only is it a symbol of our collective freedom, it also greatly decreases your odds of finding a mate and reproducing.

So you are of the opinion that a worker's association's democratic rights should be suspended because their management was too incompetent to keep the business healthy and the government was silly enough to bail them out?

That's interesting.

You're letting the facts get in the way of an uninformed, xenophobic and borderline racist rant.

We will have none of that here or on SunTV News, for that matter. Because the uninformed ranter is a folk hero and his egregious, ignorant opinions are symbols of our freedom.

The fact that they are clearly a symbol of the utter failure of our public school system to produce individuals capable of discerning fact from propaganda, make-believe and prejudice should not worry you at all. If it does, it clearly means that you are part of the "elite", latte-drinking, CBC-loving non-citizens who oppress the true and good citizens of Canada.

Ok, I'll play and re-read your initial comment with this intervention in mind.

Doesn't work.

Wherry is reporting a statement by Savoie on the decline of the basic functions of the political party. This is non-partisan. It applies to everyone, every stripe. And it's nothing new: I remember writing a paper about it in the early 1990s in a political science class.

For some reason, you took it as a criticism of the Harper Government and saw an opportunity to air your grievances about the media. Grievances that I continue to believe are unfounded, but hey, you'll continue to believe what you believe and so will I.

My only point here is that you must have a pretty huge chip on your shoulder if you think a Donald Savoie quote on the decline of the political party is an attack on Stephen Harper's government or a Liberal plot.

I'm sorry, but I don't buy your right-wing victimization theory. It not only sounds hollow, it is patently false and misleading. Works great for whipping up donations to the Party, I'm sure.

The surly teenager, "oh we're outcasts and mistreated by the establishment" shtick is getting old, in my view.

Enough with the whining, Dennis.

Remember the endless stack of articles written when Chrétien was in power about the "democratic deficit", the irrelevance of Parliament, and so on and so forth? All of them were written in your imaginary "liberal-loving" media. Jeffrey Simpson even wrote a book called "The Friendly Dictatorship". Remember that ?

Your argument does not hold water, Dennis. Sorry.

I think the real issue is that Harper promised to deliver a better kind of government and he has failed. Instead, he has reinforced and institutionalized the worse instincts of every one of his predecessors. It's only fair that he gets called out for it.

Yeah. Oh, and that's a lovely gazebo in Tony Clement's riding, by the way. Just sayin'.

I guess you missed the part where Lavigne is not a member of the Liberal caucus.

Call me stupid all you want, but people working in the PMO are at the heart of the government. Nothing happens without their ok. They have as much, if not more influence than your average MP because their are handpicked by the PM or by his most trusted advisors.

But you know this, Bluescot. You're flailing here. And I don't blame you: the sound of chickens coming home to roost must be pretty scary for the Harper bunch...

There you go, seeing a "Liberal" again.

I think getting the "Right Honourable" before your name and getting to rename the government after yourself qualify as being "in power", don't you ?
