You can see Kady O'Malley and Evan Soloman behind the scenes screaming at program directors and producers to get more PROROGUE WATCH 2010 on Newsworld. Kady is still flabbergasted that Canadians were so resoundingly opposed to a left wing Coalition government. If she believes it, everyone should believe it, right? A large majority of Canadians supported the first prorogation because it helped avoid something that they didn't want, which Kady doesn't seem to understand. But she has somewhat come to terms with the aftermath by blaming Stephane Dion's disastrous photo-ops. I know at least one Liberal who wants to put Stephen Harper on trial for treason.
Once upon a time there was an event called The Rumble in the Jungle, where Muhammad Ali innovated a new technique called the "Rope-A-Dope". Ali would back up against the ropes such that George Foreman thought he had an advantage and starts taking really big swings, burning lots of calories. However the punches weren't landing because Ali was playing palates with the ropes. Then in the 8th round when Foreman had thrown all the punches he could throw, Ali Boom aye!
Stephen, BOOM AYE!
And might I say Gumby, rest in peace...
CBC lost the Olympic coverage for 2008 and 2010 to CTV. So...CBC will instead spend all their time covering Iggy and the Liberals.
ReplyDeleteSee, problem solved! :)
Soloman and Kady - No tactics here - "Just plain dopey."
ReplyDeleteEven without live footage of events, they should be dedicating a substantial amount of time discussing results and upcoming events. Granted, maybe the CBC will boycott any Olympic coverage and just go all PROROGUE WATCH all the time.
ReplyDeleteThat wouldn't surprise me one bit.. CBC brass are probably just giddy about the coming events, and many opportunities to say "Liberals good.. Conservatives baaaaaad..."
ReplyDelete'grandiose theatrics'
ReplyDeleteWith Iffy following the media lead, that is exactly what we will get.
Don't forget Wherry, bought and paid for by Macleans....full time non-stop anti-Cons Parliament watcher.
I think the LibLuvin media is sick with grief,
watching the LPC die, only to become a piece of a coalition puzzle.
There will also be not-so-national-mostly Ontario-universities-antiprorogy rallies on the 23rd.
ReplyDeleteBrought to you by university profs and their students.
The university crowd may be the only demographic still in awe of Iffy.
So they are gonna cultivate that field, swindle some kids out of their lunch money, and call it a roaring success.
Won't those starry eyed kids be disappointed when Iffy won't bring down the government!
In fact if the CBC is not a carrier, that is even better. Now they will surely dedicate more time to the Liberal episode of Jackass! It was incorrect of me to state above that they are an Olympic carrier. I thought it was written in the constitution that the CBC was permitted to air live footage of Olympic events!
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen the letter signed by all those professors, or the one signed by diplomats.
ReplyDeleteOr did someone write a letter and just print a lot of names. Has anyone called any of those supposed signers to see if they actually did sign said letters. How did one letter get around to so many embassy's to be signed by diplomats.
I want to see the letters, with hand written signatures.
And could it be another case like all those signing the IPPC report, without reading it.
Mary T: the diplomats who "signed" were RETIRED, so they are not at Embassys/High Commissions. Some were Liberal-friendlies, as well as many probably bitter, "felt under-promoted", left-after-being-assigned-to-the-cafeteria types. Many of them are no names, although I was surprised that John Noble apparently signed, as he was very good. Other than John, I do not see any important ex-dips on the list.
ReplyDeleteMost of the key people I knew can see through the whistle blower crap to reveal a naive officer FS-02 level officer as a man-on-a-leftist-mission with an inflated sense of his own importance.
Diplomats need some political instincts in order to remain neutral in their reporting and not to create inter-departmental chaos. There were several example to show that Colvin was going rogue all along with no facts!!! He has now been sucked-in by the opposition. Colvin either has no political radar, and did not listen, or he is an activist. I am thinking the latter; he is still mad that his friend was killed. Wilson took him on and I am sure that Ambassador Doer will be a good role model.
