"media" means middle, not crotch

I'm just going to say two things about the Belinda Stronach thing. Firstly, the footage of "stricken boyfriend" and ex-fellow Conservative MP Peter MacKay mucking around in his uncle's garden and giving a sotto voce interview in rubber boots the day after her defection was simply darling. This guy is completely full of shit, whatever else the rest of this means.

Secondly, many, many people have crossed the floor in parliament before, and without the priviledge of being compared to Brooke Shields's character in Pretty Baby. The national media has got some major soul searching to do. It may sell papers to insinuate that Stronach, one of the more attractive politicians on the Hill, is some kind of a slut. But isn't that a tack best left to Sun Media? Doesn't it more behoove a "newspaper" that takes every opportunity to slather tits poised jauntily amidst a car exhibition all over the front page as often as it can? It would seem that way to me, but just such insinuation is sure a popular colour in the National Post's editorial palette today. I'd like to strongly advise that Mr. Jonathan Kay and his crack staff of masturbating interlopers such as Bruce Garvey and cartoonist Gary Clement have a serious look at how today's op-ed section makes them all look.
