Gazette groupies gird loins for Suzuki worship



In their continuing and infuriating limousine liberal fashion, the Gazette (a crown jewel in the empire consisting of Canada.com; Newspapers: National Post, Victoria Times Colonist, The Province (Vancouver), Vancouver Sun, Edmonton Journal, Calgary Herald, Regina Leader-Post, Saskatoon StarPhoenix, Windsor Star, Ottawa Citizen, The Gazette, DOSE, Vancouver Island Newspapers, VANNET Newspapers, Global TV, CHCH TV Hamilton, TVTropolis, CoolTV, DejaView, Fox Sports World Canada, LONESTAR, Men TV, Mystery TV, X-TREME Sports TV, CoolFM 99.1, 91.5 The BEAT, working.com, driving.ca, connecting, celebrating, remembering, renting, shop and CanWest Countries: Australia, New Zealand & Ireland), in what surely must be the most shining example of media diversity and impartiality staged another editorial board love-in with the jet-setting "Laurie David" Suzuki, the "Charles Mansion" king of dirty diesel egomania. Oh for another newspaper in Montreal...somebody summon the ghost of the Star. Or the Sunday Express. Anything. Jim Vani? Bob Amesse? Can you hear me?

The Gazette reported - with a straight face - that the Suze-meister had cris-crossed back east in his 54 passenger (with 8 occupants) Prevost bus, the same model George "Dubya" used in his campaign against John Kerry.

I ask you dear readers, who's more ridiculous, the liberal media and their slavish worship of this unqualified celebrity hypocrite or Suzuki himself and his own arrogant carte blanche "pollution then forgiveness", buying "carbon credits" after each dirty outing (so to speak) with donated money from the naive?

Neither Kubrick nor Python could do as well in staging such a farce. Place a call to Peter Sellers, we'll get him a scraggy glue-on goatee and some granny glasses, he's playing the lead. "Peter, you can use Eric Idle's sandals from the Life of Brian."

Crazy thought: I guess media concentration and mega-mergers are not so bad if they are by people and corporations that spread palm fronds at the feet of the sandal-ed prophet of the moment eh?

Stop the insanity. Stop it now.
