So the little ladies have their skirts in flap again and it’s all due to the presence of estrogen in the press galley. Good to know. I thought maybe it had something to do with misogynist bullshit flying every direction, glad to hear it’s just a bunch of hormone challenged press types blowing things out of proportion.
Has Canadian society really sunk this low? Are the majority of Canadian men really this stupid? Well I did read one comment by a blogger that was less intelligent than what Spector said but I would hate to taint all men by comparing them with him.
I suggest you have a bucket handy and something to kick.
“You know, I’m not in politics, I can say it, I think she’s a bitch and I think that 90 per cent of men would probably say she’s a bitch, for the way she’s broken up (former Maple Leaf) Tie Domi’s home and the way she dumped Peter MacKay. She is a bitch.”

Spector also told CTV News he thinks the reason the Tory foreign affairs minister’s reported reference to Stronach as a dog got major coverage was because of the number of female journalists in Ottawa.

Wretched, isn’t it? I just posted on the same “conversation”, if you can call something so foolish that. I can only speak for myself, but I presume that the majority of Canadian men do *not* feel this way.

Isn’t it amazing that this story has broken on Hallowe’en? Like, it is too perfect.
I will find my anger again at some point, but I have been laughing at puir wee oppressed Norman Spector for a couple of hours now.
Let’s scare ‘im. Let’s witch him out. Bubble bubble, toil and trouble …
I hope that a lot of women journalists in Ottawa run with this. We could be laughing permanently if we could just keep Norman talking.
fern hill says
I’m not laughing. But then I’m a known ‘humourless feminist’ (TM).
I hope every non-con female candidate repeats and repeats and repeats these messages from the New Canadian Government..
Berlynn says
OMG! What a jerk Spector is! Too many women journalists? Poor misogynist patriarch can’t hack the heat?
Cauldron boil and cauldron bubble, indeed!

Whooee! I reckon I must be in the 10% ol’ Normy Numbnuts sez don’t think o’ B-Linda as a bitch. I’ve known a few bitches, mind you. I think if all fellers an’ gals is honest, they’ll admit t’ at least thinkin’ that sum gal’s a bitch.
B-Linda crossed over the aisle an’ she went out with a married guy. That don’t make ‘er a bitch in my book.
Is Normy KnickerKnots callin’ Davey Emerson a sumbitch on accounta crossin’ the floor?
An’ everybuddy knows it takes two t’ tango. Tie Dumbass was the married one — not B-Linda. She weren’t the one breakin’ the vows. When folks call B-Linda a homewrecker an’ a bitch, it jest shows how they wanna let the horney hubby off the hook an’ punish the brazen hussy. Sumbuddy oughta let Normy Nincompoop in on the fact that double standards is outta fashion these days.
Yores trooly,

If that was part of a CPC strategy to “mainstream” MacKay’s insult in Parliament (stooges like Spector rarely come out of the woodwork without counsulting with the Grand Poobah – I know, mixed metaphors here, but you get my drift, I’m sure!), it may well backfire. I’ll be watching.

It’s even worse when you hear him say it. Such venom, such anger, such a feeling that she represents every girl who ever said no to him.
