Puff Piece

I'm sorry Jane Taber, but is it really big news, worthy of inclusion in Canada's National (and Newly Revamped) Newspaper, that some people who work in politics are...bossy?

Do you not feel, in fact, as though your latest piece fanning the "dump Dion" embers this morning in the G&M might be just a little bit...contrived?

I know it must be so tempting to air the dirty laundry of disaffected supporters of losing leadership bidders...but just how many MPs did you use as sources for said article? Two? One?

Go forth Herb Metcalf, and solve those personality conflicts! And disaffected Grits: it would be nice if you gave at least the impression that you cared more about the country and its downward spiral under the Conservatives than you do about your own ambitious skins. Some of us are paying attention....when we can stomach it.

I was dismayed by that article: thanks for articulating so clearly why I found it disappointing.

I'm unimpressed with the redesign, too, but don't know if that is just due to being a curmudgeon who resists change...
