Yeah. It's kind of embarrassing. They try to smear him for something where no wrongdoing was found---over five elections ago.

And Ezra Levant is so obviously and tragically a Canadianized Glenn Beck. He's trying so hard to be straight talking, rabble rousing, and controversial, but you get the sense that he's having a difficult time of it because he's just....too....polite, eh?

And to extend the commentary on the NDP surge in Quebec, I just read that even Duceppe's seat itself is under threat: one poll put him just 0.4 percentage points ahead of his NDP opponent. Wow. He's held that seat for over 20 years.

I think that it's only a matter of time before this warrants a thread of its own, but the Fox Sun News Network has looked a bit awkward since their launch. It's like they truly did go with the Fox model but have kind of fumbled it by being too cautious. It's ironic how they said they were going to be all straight talking and would eschew political correctness. It's like they sold one thing and started with another. One early commentary I agreed with was that they should just drop the gloves already. It's like they're sitting on the fence. Levant is coming across as a right-wing and unfunny Rick Mercer. I'm not sure he's doing that intentionally. I'd say no.

I suppose this "exclusive" on Layton's "impropriety" is evidence that they're finding their feet....but seriously..... Either shit or get off the pot.
