BREAKING NEWS!


[UPDATE: Unsurprisingly, the embarrassment that was that creepily stalking-flavoured blog post has long since gone away. What a shame.]

Politicians and reporters sometimes socialize!

Film at 11.

WHOOPSIE
: Starting to wonder what kind of whackjobs you've surrounded yourself with, Stephen?

THE OVERWHELMING DUMBFUCKITUDE: You have to love the utter cluelessness of this line from "Conservative Queen":

Gloria Galloway and Kady O'Malley (facing the camera with sunglasses) hug while Liberal organizer Mark Dunn looks on...

How much credibility can Galloway and O'Malley have in their reporting and blogging when they stick so close to prominent Liberals?

As a few people pointed out, Galloway and Dunn are married to each other. That probably explains the "closeness." But that's just a wild guess.

So, what of it?

Can't Kady and Gloria talk to anyone
of their choosing?

Must politics fall into the us and them camps? That's the way the conservatives are seeing everything.
Us and them. Black and white.
For or against.

Shades of Bush's evangelical influences are now pervading Ottawa.

Especially when they're married to each other ... just like Gloria Galloway and Mark Dunn are.

Coincidence? I think not.

In the US, Democrat strategist James Carville is married to Conservative spokesperson Mary Matalin.

If that happened here, would you be more/less hysterical than you are now?

Just asking.

LuLu said...

David dear, CC is making fun of the Conservative Queen's hysterical conspiracy theoryesque post over Gloria Galloway and Kady O'Malley having a drink with Mark Dunn ZOMG!1!!111!!!

I, in turn, am reinforcing the stupidity of CQ's post by further pointing out that Galloway and Dunn are married ... are we clear?

She just happens to be strolling down Sparks Street and catches a glimpse of Kady O'Malley (who she identifies immediately even though she has sunglasses on) and proceeds to take careful shots of Dunn and Galloway.

BUNNY BOILER ALERT! Crazy Conservatrix Stalker dead ahead!

Do you need to have "rhetorical question" explained to you?

Just wondering.

Speaking of which, do they have kids? If so can you imagine the angularity of their features?

*shudder*

I like this comment:
Good grief - media folks all know each other. Just like in any other line of business.

Galloway was one of the few journalists invited to Harper's secret/closed door media thing about the RCMP/in-out scandal - so she must favour Harper or he wouldn't invite her.

Her kids support the Green Party. In fact, my parents supported different political parties.

Paranoia is really eating at your brains.

I like this comment by "Fay:"

Thankyou for challenging the media, the Liberal bias from the media scares the living daylights out of me. They have a hidden agenda that is a threat to the democracy of Canada!!!
Canadians deserve better.


I swear, that has to be a parody-troll.

Don't these people work? I mean, you may fight tooth and nail with your competitors, but still go out for drinks, lunch, etc. with them or even hang out after-hours. Sheesh. These people really need to grow up.

LuLu said...

*yawn*

Not at all, David - would you like me to explain "snark" and "satire" to you? Just wondering ...

Coincidence? I think not. ;-)

I saw pictures of Styen with his arm around Kady somewhere a few weeks ago...

THE CIRCLE IS COMPLETE!!!

These people are seriously creeping me out. I've got "Roundhead" back again, from Conservative Party headquarters, on another blog and under a different name--apparently he's been casing my neighbourhood.

I'm not bothered enough to sleep with a loaded gun nearby, but it's yet another example of the stalker's psychosis that had Michelle "Stalkin'" Malkin hanging around the house of a 12-year-old to get the goods on him and his family.

I do not agree with the hysteria about Galloway and Dunn. That being said - I think there is cause for concern about the close relationships that exist between politicans in Ottawa, or here in British Columbia -- that should be addressed.

On more than one occasion that I am aware of - reporters have pooh pooh'd a legitimate inquiry into some behavior or other of various stripes of politicians *because* of their more intimate knowledge and friendship with them.

For instance -- because Jim Prentice has friends in the media - and has cultivated these friendships -- when the whole thing with him and KKKate came up -- reporters said they were shocked at what was going on --(because they knew him and believed him to be a fairly progressive sort of person -- not given to racism). They could offer no other reason as to why they would not report on the matter. They did agree that it was disturbing that Prentice was openly flogging McMillan's website over and over.

Here in BC -- a former press guy Brian Kiernan has many friends in the media. This is why the media has not reported on his involvement in the BC Rail - Basi-Virk trial that is going on. One reporter that I spoke to, when I asked about why it was they didn't focus any attention on Kiernan said "Hey -- I still have a lot of time for him"

I do not believe it is a reportersw job to be palsy walsy with the people whom they are supposed to be reporting on. I would expect people whose job it is to report on news to be more stand-offish than most of the Ottawa Press pack or the BC Leg press, currently are.

Hug? Wait, maybe there's some sort of bisexual three way here...

JJ said...

Does this woman not realize how seriously creepy her behaviour is?

Wow: creepy and stupid.

Ewwww.
